Maude is a versatile musician and educator with a deep passion for the violin. She plays violin in the band Ulfhednar and brings her performance experience from multiple genres directly into her teaching. Her background also includes singing, keyboard, and managing the melodic death metal band Sanguine Glacialis, as well as work as a growler in Growlers Choir and voice actress at The Monster Factory—all of which enrich her musical perspective and creativity.

Maude holds a Diploma of College Studies in Classical Piano Interpretation from Cégep Saint-Laurent and a Bachelor’s degree in Music Teaching from UQAM, providing a strong foundation for her personalized violin instruction.

She has collaborated with numerous bands including Evocatus, Nebelhaus, Cries of Blood, Hands of Despair, Norskald, Nachtmuse, and Terminal Curse, and has contributed to over 20 albums and singles.

As a voice actress, Maude has dubbed characters in video games such as South of Midnight, Baldur’s Gate 3, Dead by Daylight, Fortnite – The Walking Dead, Project TL, Dreams – Ancien Dangers: A Bat’s Tale, and many more—demonstrating her versatility and expressive musicality, which she brings into her violin teaching.

Preparing for a university violin exam? Want to start composing your own music on the violin? Learning music theory gives you a solid understanding of chord progressions, harmony, and the basics of writing music—skills you can apply directly to your violin playing.

You can combine your violin lessons with music theory for a fully integrated learning experience, or take dedicated music theory classes on their own. Either way, you’ll gain the knowledge and confidence to elevate your performance and creativity!

Each violin teacher at EXPRESS is an active performing artist, creating and performing music on stage and in the studio. No two instructors are alike—each specializes in a different style, aesthetic, and approach to violin, with years of live performance experience.

Whether you want to play your favorite songs to unwind, or you’re aiming to hone your skills for performance, composition, or songwriting, our lessons are designed for you! Violin students shape their lessons—our artist teachers will craft a program that fits your goals.

Learn music theory, how to read sheet music, play by ear, or explore advanced techniques such as finger agility, bowing styles, vibrato, and improvisation. With guidance from experienced violinists, you’ll develop both the technical skills and musical expression to bring your playing to life.

Our violin lessons in Montreal are open to ages 4+. Young students may find music awareness group classes better serve them, however we are happy to do a first lesson with your child to see if private lessons are a good fit. We also welcome adult students for violin lessons!

Unlock the expressive world of music with our exclusive one-on-one violin lessons in Toronto. Students of all levels are welcome—whether you’re dreaming of performing on stage, preparing for conservatory exams, or simply curious about learning the violin.

In these private violin sessions, you’ll receive focused, personalized instruction that lets you progress at your own pace. Our experienced violinists bring real-world expertise from the studio, the stage, and the world of composition, offering practical insights into technique, musicality, performance, creative expression, sight-reading, and the artistry of the violin.

Jordanne was exceptional - I can't recommend her work enough to anyone seeking to improve their vocal technique and/or strength. She takes a full-body approach to singing, based on her training in Alexander Technique, which in my case meant connecting my posture to tension across my whole body. With Jordanne's guidance I was able to go from singing with tension and strain to singing with fluidity and support, all within a very short period of time. The newfound confidence I have in my voice is life-changing!

Robert is the best voice teacher I've ever had. In addition to having an amazing voice and range (helpful when I need to hear the notes back) he's incredibly supportive and fun to work with. I've improved my voice drastically and he really helped me through learning to belt and riff! Thank you Robert!!

North York voice teachers Tylor van Riper

I absolutely LOVE Tylor. I started singing last May and I was super nervous about it. Singing is extremely personal and vulnerable, and for me it’s been so hard to feel comfortable enough to go to lessons because of how insecure I am about my voice. Once I summoned the courage to finally take lessons, I have to say that Tylor really went above and beyond to ensure I felt comfortable and safe.

Jordanne is great teacher! For the first time I contact her, I am very pleased. She took the time to truly understand what I needed. And, the first time I met her she made me feel so comfortable that I felt at ease to express myself. She made me do some exercise to see what my blocage was. Then gave me a routine, which is exactly what I needed. It have been only 3 courses but I can experience the change and improvement. And not only in singing and piano. I wasn’t aware of all the tension I use to have in my body. Now that I am conscious of that, I am able to relax my body and feel a deep connection.

I did my first lesson with Jordie last week. She is very patient and has a lot of knowledge on vocal training. She made me see things from a different light in just one session! Her knowledge is impeccable. I’m looking forward to working on my voice with her! I already feel improvement in just a week. Truly recommend her.

Throughly enjoyed my lessons with Express and Ian! Would definitely recommend. I looked for a long time for a singing teacher that I could have fun with, connect with, and grow my voice. Ian was definitely that teacher for me. The concerts were great too to be a part of.
Thank you guys!
