I am thankful for the ability to play and learn with so many passionate students. I especially love ending my week with grade 3’s, who are brushing up on their xylophone skills, and grade 4’s, who are learning to play the ukulele. I start
I am thankful for the ability to play and learn with so many passionate students. I especially love ending my week with grade 3’s, who are brushing up on their xylophone skills, and grade 4’s, who are learning to play the ukulele. I start my weekend in such a good mood because of them! I am inspired everyday and grateful for our wonderful students and staff. Happy Thanksgiving! 🍂🍁

I’m Siobhan, or known by my students as @mswaldock! I am a music educator and choral singer based in Surrey, British Columbia. I currently teach core music in the Surrey School District and am deeply passionate about creating meaningful and inclusive music education experiences for students.
I completed my Bachelor of Music with Honours in Education at Western University, where I founded Choral Canada’s first student chapter, established the Don Wright Faculty of Music’s first choir council, and received the Deral Johnson Legacy Award in Choral Conducting. I then pursued a Bachelor of Education with a Minor in Environmental Education at Simon Fraser University, where I was honoured with the Carol and Gary Chapman Memorial Scholarship in Education.
One of my proudest accomplishments has been winning the Canadian Music Educators Association essay competition, which led to my first academic publication in a national journal. In 2025, my school was awarded an $18,000 grant from Musicounts’ Slaight Family Innovation Fund to purchase culturally relevant and technology-forward instruments - an initiative that holds great significance for our school community.
I am currently completing my Master of Music Education at Western University, expected in Spring 2026. Outside of teaching, I enjoy spending time with my corgi, Winnie, and exploring the mountains and backroads whenever I can.

“Music gives us a language that cuts across the disciplines, helps us to see connections and brings a more coherent meaning to our world.”
