Aidan became the Creative Director of Yellow Dog Music school in September 2019. She absolutely loves being a part of the Yellow Dog crew, as the studio’s teaching philosophy is completely aligned with her own: CREATIVITY FIRST! Her love of teaching and developing education strategy is a skill which she is lucky to be able to explore as Yellow Dog’s Creative Director. Aidan truly enjoys working alongside YELLOW DOG Director Katrina Anderson as they continue to find ways for Yellow Dog Music to adapt to this modern world!
Aidan believes in the power of music and creativity to bring joy and purpose to people’s lives. Her teaching philosophy and techniques reflect this in every way.
