Welcome to Trio Music by Margaret Brentnall
Trio Music has been a centre of music appreciation in the easily accessible neighborhood of Cedarbrae in SW Calgary, Alberta for more than two decades. My studio offers voice, piano, theory and history lessons to students of all ages and backgrounds.
I am passionate about both music and learning. One of my most satisfying sources of learning is through teaching music – my students teach me so much about the learning process!
Although most of my students who participate in exams and festivals receive high marks, I believe the biggest indicator of success is the personal growth that comes in many shapes and sizes for all students. I am open to the different styles of music that pique a student’s interest including popular selections and use of technology.
Motivated by a love of and passion for music, students find me to be a patient, engaging, enthusiastic, and encouraging teacher.
