Lessons with Cassidy

Singing Lessons
Singing lessons
In singing lessons, we’ll cover basic technique to ensure a healthy and long-lasting voice, we’ll talk about how to use stylistic accuracy in order to standout as an artist and performer, and most importantly how to gain confidence in yourself and your voice. Singing lessons are for anyone from beginner to experienced singers and performers.
Stage Performance Lessons

02
Songwriting & Composition
Write lyrics that say what you mean, find your hooks and finish your songs. Cassidy has been writing songs since she was 8, and her debut EP has over 200K streams on Spotify.
03
Guitar Lessons for Songwriters
Learn the guitar skills you need to write and perform your own songs: chords, strumming and accompanying your own voice.
04
Piano Lessons for Songwriters & Producers
These lessons are focused on understanding basic principles of the piano in order to be your own backing track! We focus on basic chord progression building, voice leading, rhythm, etc.
Music theory lessons allow you to understand the “mechanics” behind sounds. We learn about different intervals, chords, voice leading, analysis, and other tools to understand the how and why behind your favourite sounds! No prior knowledge is needed - you don't even need to know how to read music!
These lessons are also great for people who have worked on their ears and would like to take a step into the art of improvisation. Improvisation exists when you have no prior plan as you create. We all do it daily as we converse - now you can learn musical conversation!
05
Stage Performance
These sessions are great for folks getting ready for recordings or performances. We fine-tune delivery, incorporating song interpretation, and think about how we can create the most impactful experience for our listeners.
06
Music Production & Recording
Learn to produce and record your own songs, from the first demo to a finished track. Cassidy produces her own music.
Watch Cassidy
Cassidy Taylor is an indie pop artist and producer based in Montreal, Quebec. Known for writing incredibly thought-provoking lyrics and unforgettable hooks, Cassidy’s sound is described as introspective yet anthemic — the kind of music that allows you to hear yourself. Cassidy has been compared to artists like Gracie Abrams, Billie Eilish, and some of the greats like Joni Mitchell and Chrissie Hynde of The Pretenders. With her enormously warm and inviting presence on stage, she has charmed audiences across Ontario and continues to amass fans in places as far as Australia and Germany through her regular music releases. Her latest release, an acoustic version of a fan-favourite track called “Not Blue”, was released in March 2026.
Growing up a shy kid in the Haliburton Highlands of Ontario, Canada, Cassidy began writing songs in her bedroom at the age of 8. After years of honing in her artistry both on and off the stage, now nothing matters more than connecting people through her self-produced tracks and unifying live shows.
Releasing her debut, self-titled EP in 2023, the project has garnered over 200K streams on Spotify. The third single off the project, “The Moon”, landed a spot in Season 2 of Surviving Summer, a fast-growing Netflix TV series based in Australia.
Some of Cassidy’s notable performances include Opening for Michelle Owen at The Drake Underground in Toronto [2025], opening for Havens at the El Mocambo in Toronto [2024], opening for Julian Taylor in Haliburton [2023], the JUNOS Opening Night Chair Reception in Toronto [2022]. Having written with acclaimed artists such as Julian Taylor, Zoe Sky Jordan, and Robyn Dell’Unto, Cassidy is making a name for herself in the industry not only as a proficient songwriter and producer but as an artist.

Alex Nicol
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!!
Rebecca
I absolutely LOVE Ocean. 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 Ocean really went above and beyond to ensure I felt comfortable and safe.
Laurena Mayifuila Mayowele
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.
Samantha Timmons
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.
