Natalie Spurrell
Vice President, Festival Coordinator
Natalie Spurrell holds a Bachelor of Music and Bachelor of Music Education from Memorial University of Newfoundland. Natalie has taught private singing lessons for sixteen years.
Natalie was a choral scholar with Shalloway (formally known as The Newfoundland Symphony Youth Choir) and founded and directed an award-winning music and theatre camp in Newfoundland and Labrador.
Before operating a full time private teaching studio, Natalie worked at Fern Hill School in Oakville, where she taught music, vocal and drama for ten years. She directed Fern Hill’s annual musical production and conducted their award-winning choirs. Her choir was invited to sing with The Canadian Tenors at a PBS Special filmed at Koerner Hall, with special guest artists, Sarah MacLachlan and David Foster.
Natalie believes in stretching each student to achieve their best. Her students are exposed to various styles of vocal music from broadway to classical. They are encouraged to understand the music they sing and to entertain their audience each time they perform. Her students perform at various festivals and events and complete a Royal Conservatory of Music Vocal Examination each year.
