My philosophy
My passion for music echoes Pierre Boulez’ statement of music: “Music is … a labyrinth with no beginning and no end, full of new paths to discover, where mystery remains eternal.” Everyone should experience the depth of emotions that music can express. My desire is to imbue that passion for music in my students so that they may enjoy playing long after lessons have ended. There is always more that can be discovered in every piece of music, in every playing.
Vocalist, Mentor
Through the years, her enthusiasm for music has defined the course of Susan’s life as much as it has defined her vibrant character. Her considerable experience performing with professional opera and musical theatre companies across Canada is a testament to her professionalism, talent, and strength.
My Philosophy
We are all unique, our voices as distinct as our DNA. Singing in a complete, organic way combines your physical, emotional, mental, and even spiritual attributes, working in harmony through music to produce a talent that is distinctly yours.
~ Susan Gudgeon
