Tamara Leszner-Rovet | Owner & Director of TPSMTS
Tamara began learning piano at the tender age of 3. Growing up, she received numerous awards and scholarships for her piano performances. Aspiring to be a concert pianist, she received her Associateship of the Royal Conservatory of Toronto (ARCT) at the age of 18 and received her Registered Music Teacher (RMT) certification with the Ontario Registered Music Teachers’ Association (ORMTA). As she developed a strong passion for teaching, she discovered music therapy – a career where she could share her love of music and performing while being able to help individuals enhance their quality of life. She received her Honours Bachelor of Music Therapy Degree (BMT) from the University of Windsor, and is a Certified Music Therapist (MTA). She has also received additional training to become a Neurologic Music Therapist Affiliate (NMT) with The Academy of Neurologic Music Therapy, and is a Registered Psychotherapist (RP) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario.

It is her goal for all students and clients to have a positive, enriching, and rewarding musical experience that lasts a lifetime.
