Caitlin Santry Music Studio
Welcome to My Studio
Hi, I'm Caitlin Santry. Welcome to my site! I am a flute and piano teacher, living and working in Barrhaven's Half Moon Bay community. I have been teaching in the Ottawa area since 2002, and love working with students of all ages and levels.

Music Lessons
I offer one-on-one flute, piano and theory lessons to all ages and levels.
Flute and piano students may begin as young as four or five, although you are never too old to pick up an instrument! I am looking forward to finding out which instrument you fall in love with.
​
Interested in something completely different? I also offer beginner ukulele lessons where we can explore both finger picking and strumming styles.
Testimonials
"In the 7+ years I've been learning piano with Caitlin, she has invariably been supportive, patient, and kind. She is always there to encourage you towards your goals, whatever they may be. Lessons with Caitlin have always been a highlight of my week where I can challenge myself and connect with music with the help of a dedicated and skilled instructor."
Brynn K, student
"My girls have been taking lessons with Caitlin in Barrhaven for over 8 years. During that time, she’s been a dynamic teacher. She learns what they like and offers them the opportunity to choose some of their own songs. She is warm and encouraging during the lessons; even when the girls are going through a phase of "I don't want to practice," they never ask to skip the lesson.
Most impressively, Caitlin easily transitioned to teaching on Zoom at the beginning of March, and both girls were able to progress with their skills. Caitlin really is a patient, nurturing, and motivated music teacher who works very hard to nurture a love of music in her students."
Andrea Z, parent
"Caitlin is a great music teacher – patient, kind, and passionate about music. She was able to impart her enthusiasm and love of playing piano onto my son, who has taken piano lessons with Caitlin since 2014. My son enjoyed taking lessons with Caitlin, connecting with her warmth and her consistently positive approach.
Caitlin sets high standards and expectations that she makes clear, and helped my son to achieve it. She is very proud of each and every student which was evident during recitals.
I highly recommend Caitlin as a music teacher for any child and adult who wish to learn."
