2026 Adjudicators

Elanna Clark is based in London, Ontario where she maintains a thriving private piano studio with a focus on healthy playing techniques, expressive performance, and integrating music theory directly into repertoire. After many years teaching both elementary and high school music, she discovered that her greatest passion lay in private piano teaching, where she could work closely with students to develop strong technical foundations, thoughtful practice habits, and a lifelong love of music. She is especially committed to teaching students how to practice effectively and how to build routines that support long-term musical and personal growth.

She holds a Master of Music Education from Western University and is an active member of the Ontario Registered Music Teachers’ Association (ORMTA), having previously served as London branch president. A passionate advocate for Canadian music, she runs an annual Canadian music festival in London each November, welcoming a guest composer to hear student performances and provide feedback. She has studied with Karen Rowell, Jim Hibbard, Gwen Beamish, and Laura Pin. As both a teacher and adjudicator, she is dedicated to nurturing students and helping them to become confident performers.
