Tammy Johnson

Director

Tammy’s passion for music was ignited at the age of four when she began singing on stage with her father. By the age of sixteen, she had performed in many Musical Theatre productions with the Oshawa Choral Society, a touring children’s rock band and had earned her Grade Eight Piano and Grade Ten Vocal Certificates from the Royal Conservatory of Music. She explored various types of music and theatre through her high school years and continued on to graduate from the Humber College Vocal Jazz Performance Program.

In college, Tammy branched out to world music, folk and ethnic songs, and all along, there were festivals, and shows, and leading choirs and choruses. She also travelled to Europe for a summer with a U.S. choir singing in cathedrals from country to country.

Tammy has had a passion for teaching music to all ages since 1995, both privately and in a school setting. She has earned her Early Childhood Music Education Diploma through the Royal Conservatory.
