Jan Baxendale

Jan Baxendale began her study of the piano at the age of seven years old. Over the next eleven years she studied with three Lower Mainland teachers, most notably with Dr. Dale Reubart of the U.B.C Department of Music. At the age of fifteen, Jan earned her Licentiate Diploma from Trinity College (London) and started her teaching career. At the age of eighteen, she traveled to London, England where she lived for one year, studying with Kendall Taylor of the Royal School of Music and obtained her Fellowship Diploma from Trinity College of Music.

Shortly after returning home to North Vancouver and having resumed her studies, she was hired at the young age of nineteen as an instructor at Capilano University where she taught in the University Transfer Program and the Music Therapy department for the next thirteen years. Jan derives tremendous pleasure and satisfaction from teaching the love of music, specifically of the piano, to students of all ages.

Jan has produced many top-achieving students throughout her many years of teaching including excellent results in festivals and examinations.
