Piano And Voice Teacher

​

Margaret Schroeder has been teaching music since 2017, and loves to help her students discover their individual learning styles. Whether she is teaching musical theatre, classical voice or piano, both her degrees from Trinity Western University (BA in music performance and BFA in acting) work together through song and story to make learning fun. She currently holds RCM grade 9 in both piano and voice, and plans to further her own training in the coming years. 

 

Since both of her parents worked as music teachers, Margaret has been involved in music from a young age. Starting in Orff and recorder before sitting down to piano lessons at age 5. During her middle school years she started violin and trombone which allowed for amazing ensemble playing with fiddle, concert band, and jazz band. She has sung in Westcoast Harmony Barbershop chorus in Surrey as well as several choirs over the years. At times she has joked that music is her first language. 

 

Margaret's experiences with Musical Theatre started in high school where she had the opportunity to play Chip in Beauty and the Beast, Precious in Steel Pier, and Mama in Bye Bye Birdie. Her favourite role was Penny in Summerstock Calgary's production of Hairspray. While in university she also sang FrumaSarah in Fiddler on the Roof and filled out the chorus sound in Drowsy Chaperone. Although she has yet to perform a full production of Gilbert and Sullivan, she looks forward to eventually bringing one of their soprano roles to life. 

 

If you are looking to find your voice or figure out how to help tell the story through your playing, Margaret would love to hear from you. She is able to support beginner and intermediate RCM students working towards exams in either piano or voice.
