    Megan Abel is a skilled guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter with a diploma in Contemporary Music and Technology from Selkirk College. She has performed across the province, released her own album, and continues to stay active in the local music scene through performance and education.

    Megan’s teaching approach blends creativity with structure, encouraging students to explore theory, rhythm, and technique in a relaxed and supportive environment. Her lessons are tailored to the individual, making music accessible and engaging for all ages and skill levels. We’re thrilled to have her on the FACES music faculty.
