Dr. Jocelyn is a versatile and experienced pedagogue. Her students have included curious preschool-aged children taking their first music classes, pre-teenagers looking to thrive on the international piano competition scene, adults who are life-long learners, and college students who are on the precipice of being professional musicians. 

For the past two years, Dr. Jocelyn has been focussing her efforts on private studio and masterclass teaching at the Vancouver Academy of Music. Her talented students have been prizewinners of competitions (Vancouver Kiwanis, BCCM Festival, Phyllis Salter Competition), and recipients of First Class Honors with Distinction certificates upon successful completion of RCM and ABRSM exams. Through individual instruction, she tailors her approach based on the needs of each student. However, she challenges and empowers all her students to reach their musical potential through curated practice plans with specific performance goals. Each student’s plan includes diverse repertoire, technical exercises, ear training, sight reading, and theoretical analysis as it applies to the chosen repertoire.

Dr. Jocelyn is currently accepting applications to her piano studio. Please visit the Contact section for more information to get in touch or request for a trial lesson at the Vancouver Academy of Music. 

"Dr. Jocelyn has so many talented students, which is a true testament to her patience, encouragement, and ability to connect with them. I know that each of them has Dr. Jocelyn in their ears as they are at home practicing because I see it in my own son as he continues to practice with a clear goal and method in mind. Dr. Jocelyn is genuinely interested in knowing them as individuals and she learns how to instruct them through her time with them. I'm grateful that she takes that time."
