Jean's Academy of Music

My name is Jean Ritter and I would like to thank everyone who has been a faithful supporter of music education and music excellence in the community. It has been my pleasure to have been a music educator for 35 years, 10 of which have been spent owning and operating Jean's Academy of Music.

Life is always full of changes and takes twists and turns that we don't often foresee. This year has been one of those years for me. Due to some health issues, I have found it to be necessary to close the academy on Wheel Avenue.

Each of the teachers is continuing to teach, just in different locations. You can enjoy the same excellent instruction by Theresa for voice, violin, and piano; piano by Laura and Charity; and guitar by Chris. If you wish to contact them, please email me at jean@jeanacademy.com and I will forward your email to the respective instructor and you will be contacted directly.

I am teaching in my home on a smaller scale and am booked for this year. I will still be operating as Jean's Academy of Music although I am the only instructor.

I will continue to teach all the levels of Rudiments and all the levels of History in the summer only. The information for times and prices will be put up in the spring.

I am also continuing to teach the new RCM pedagogy course.

I appreciate all the support the community has given me and the Academy over all these years in the Fraser Valley. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! It will remain my pleasure to provide answers to your questions and directions for contacts in the various musical disciples.
