Renée Dahn started playing the violin at the age of five and piano at the age of nine. Originally from Prince Edward Island, Renée grew up surrounded by the rich musical culture of the Maritimes. She holds a Bachelor of Music from Wilfrid Laurier University, where she studied violin and viola.

Renée believes in cultivating interest and excitement about music through positive reinforcement and personally tailored lessons, which includes helping her students establish and accomplish goals, and creating a healthy relationship with the instrument.

She has performed throughout the Maritimes and southern Ontario, including with the Prince Edward Island Symphony Orchestra. In addition to teaching, Renée is an active performer in the Ottawa area in chamber groups (such as Ensemble Allure and Phosphor String Duo) and as a session musician.
