Lisa is the owner and founder of Skyline Music.

Lisa’s love of music began at the age of 9 when she signed up for piano lessons, but ended up playing the organ for 8 years due to an administration oversight within the school. She went on to compete as an organist in many province-wide festivals and performed at the 1992 World Expo in Seville, Spain.

At the age of 16 she began studying classical piano through the Royal Conservatory of Music in hopes of auditioning for the Bachelor of Music program at the University of Calgary.

After attaining her Grade 10 RCM Piano & Theory certificates, she earned her Bachelor of Music degree in 2003 and a Bachelor of Education degree specializing in Elementary Education in 2007.

Lisa has been teaching piano, organ, and theory since the age of 18, starting at the Irene Besse Academy of Music in 1997, joining the Yamaha Music Canada Foundation in 2007, and starting Skyline Music (Calgary) in September of that same year.

In 2013, Lisa became a certified music theory teacher through the Glory St. Germaine-Ultimate Music Theory program. Lisa is trained to teach Prep A to Advanced (Grade 8) music theory rudiments as well as History 9 & 10 levels with the Royal Conservatory of Music curriculum.

In 2015, Lisa became a certified Advanced Piano and Theory specialist with the Royal Conservatory of Music where she is still associated and completes her annual training to keep up with changing requirements.

Lisa was nominated for the Airdrie Amazing Woman Award in 2018 and 2023, nominated for the Airdrie Mayors Night Arts Educator Award in 2018, and won the Arts Educator Award in 2023.

In her off time, Lisa may be found in local Yoga, Zumba, and West African Dance classes or singing as a First Soprano in the Airdrie Community Choir. A self professed Vegan “foodie” and “Plant-Obsessed-Crazy Cat-Lady”, Lisa is an exuberant, enthusiastic, and supportive personality at Skyline Music.
