Come join my studio to discover unique and engaging piano lessons for beginner through advanced students.


What Can I Do For You?

Located in Kanata, I will give your child a love for music! I am a piano teacher, and I love to pass on the joy of expression through music making, the thrill of moving one's fingers over the keys with that 'is this really me' sensation, and the unspoken language that only music can convey.

My studio is fun, positive, and encouraging. I foster confidence and creativity, and since every student is unique, my lessons suit your child's individual needs.

Hire the Best teacher you can find for your beginning child, since beginning lessons set the framework for future development.

Who Am I?

I am a pianist and teacher from St John's, Newfoundland who has drawn from study in Europe, the United States and Canada to become a pianist. I studied at Memorial University of Newfoundland ( B. Mus, B. Mus Ed), and followed this with graduate school at Brandon University. Here, I obtained a M Mus in piano performance and literature. In Brandon, the late Lorne Watson was a strong pedagogy and literature mentor for me. I later completed an examiner's training course at the Royal Conservatory of Music, for whom I now work as a senior examiner. Further study in Southern Massachusetts to acquaint myself with the Taubman Technique and time in South Carolina studying pedagogy at the DMA, level rounded things out. As a Memorial University student, I studied privately with Norman Beedie and completed course work in London, England at the City University, and at The Guildhall School of Music.

All this led to my success as a private piano teacher. I have accompanied extensively throughout Canada and the US, and have recorded for CBC. I have adjudicated and examined my way through Canada and the US.

I work as a music critic,

and I've completed some volunteer work to include Past President of the Newfoundland Registered Music Teacher's Association (NLRMTA).

My students have won awards at National, Provincial and local levels to include winners in the National Round of the Canadian Music Competition, regular gold/silver Medalists (Royal Conservatory of Music) in Atlantic Canada, Medalists and National Scholarship Winners and workshop participants (Conservatory Canada), and Rose Bowl wins (the top honor of the city) in St John's, Carbonear, and Clarenville. They have progressed to music festival Provincial Finals, and have been first place winners in CFMTA National Music Writing Competitions. Many former students have progressed to music schools throughout Canada, and many are professional musicians, performers, teachers, organizers, and entertainers.

HERE'S WHAT THE CRITICS SAY..................................................

"Hi Sally! Hope everything is well. I just thought I would let you know that if all goes according to plans next year I will be doing a major in math and a minor in music, and hopefully specialize in composition within the following years. You were an integral part of discovering that music was something I wanted to pursue and I just wanted to thank you for all the fantastic years of lessons." Isabelle Riche

" There is just no substitute for Sally!" Joshua Veber (student)................ " Make sure Sally knows I second that ! " Sarah Veber (pianist, harpist U of Ottawa)

"How nice was it today to call Chancellor Park (senior citizen's complex) and they asked who I played there before with; Sally Rowsell. Many thanks for instilling that on me (bringing music to senior's) at such an impressionable age! I've taken my students the past four years and now with no students, I'll be brave to organize 12! (12 concerts at 12 senior citizen venues for Christmas) Laura Madonna Murray, former student, pianist,singer/ songwriter, unique entrepreneur, St. John's NL
