PIANO

Hey! I’m Adam Butcher. I began taking piano lessons when I was in kindergarten and almost quit when I was 9 (but I’m glad I didn’t!). I earned my RCM Grade 8 when I was 16 and have loved music all my life. I enjoy playing the piano for services at my church and for wedding services for friends and relations.

While I mainly play the piano, I also play the trombone and taught myself (and a number of students) how to play the ukulele while teaching elementary school music. I am currently a classroom teacher in Hagersville and appreciate the opportunity to share my love of music with the students at Lupton Street Studios.

I love helping students use the arts to express themselves and make connections to the world around them through the songs that they play.

VOCAL, BEGINNER PIANO

Kori is passionate about creative self-expression, whether that be through a song, piece of art, poem or journal entry. A graduate of McMaster University and the Mohawk College applied music program, her 20+ year career has centred on performing, writing, recording and teaching music.

In 2020 she became a certified Expressive Arts Practitioner in an effort to study and learn how the creative art process can be applied to wellness and self-care practices. She is happy to be joining Lupton Street Studios as a music teacher, visual art and workshop facilitator. You can learn more about her at www.koripop.com

PIANO, MINI MUSICAL THEATRE

Hello! My name is Carrie and I’m excited to share my passion for music here at Lupton Street Studios!

I grew up with lots of opportunity to explore music through piano, voice and various instruments and earned my RCM Grade 8 in 2008. My love for kids led me to teaching and I taught in an elementary school until having children of my own. That being said, I’m truly an old soul and find nothing more relaxing than having a cup of tea and working on a crocheted hat or blanket out in my backyard.

I believe that time spent in any of the arts can bring out amazing qualities in any person and can’t wait to see what journeys my students will explore!
