Miss. Jacqui started her musical journey at the age of 4. Having a very musical family, Jacqueline began playing the piano and singing for fun. Soon after, she started lessons with her very first music teacher. Thanks to the fantastic instruction of her music teachers, Jacqueline went on to study at the University of Western Ontario where she graduated with an Honours Bachelor of Music. Additionally, Jacqueline completed the Music Business program at Humber College. After graduating she decided to move to Toronto to continue teaching and to immerse herself in the creative arts. Jacqui taught over 300 young students in Early Childhood Music Programs, and designed curriculum for two academies in the Toronto area. Whilst doing so, Jacqui studied Developmental Psychology to design her very own Music Munchkin's classes around the developmental stages of learning.
