| PARIS ACADEMY OF MUSIC was established to become a state of the art, customized Music Academy that taught piano lessons as well as a full range of orchestral instruments, within a full comprehensive program for all ages, both children and adults. On January 5, 2015, the Paris Academy of Music from Paris, Ontario, officially opened its doors. Almost immediately, Clara’s schedule started to fill up with eager beginners from Brantford, Paris and Glen Morris. The Academy happily reports 70 registered students to date which include babies, toddlers, preschoolers and school aged children from ages 5 to 8 as well as several adult students who missed the opportunity of taking lessons as children and now have the time to devote to something extremely rewarding and enjoyable. DIRECTOR, BIO Born in the historic city of Montreal, Quebec, Canada, Clara's musical curiously began at the very young age of five. She eagerly watched Liberace performing on the Ed Sullivan Show on television that her parents were watching one Sunday evening after church. She knew immediately that the piano was the instrument she wanted to learn to play. His flamboyant style and flair captivated Clara's heart and she aspired to learn to play like him. Throughout her life, she never wavered from her dream and stayed on course. Her passion for music continued to grow and flourish. Clara found herself diligently continuing with formal Classical music lessons, but really loved the music that came from the boisterous choirs and congregation at their church. With an gifted "Hungarian Gypsy" ear for picking up and recognizing melodies, she found herself matching sounds and chords and by the age of 14, ended up playing weekly on the Music Worship Team as Lead Pianist at her church. Clara continued in that path as accompanist for over 15 years. In addition to faith-based repertoire, she also loves all genres of music to perform with various youth concerts, talent competitions, television productions, weddings, church events, funerals and dedications. Clara's artistic sensitivity, coupled with her passion for music are a perfect compliment to her professional background and experience. She has and continues to entertain at weddings, special occasions and family gatherings. She volunteered at Brantwood Community Centre, Brantford, On for several years playing every Monday night to bring a breath of musically fresh air to clients who attend a one hour session to hear her play. Her substantial repertoire lists includes classical showpieces, contemporary, show tunes, movie themes, modern and pop in addition to her first love - the gospel hymns.
