Tanya LaPerrière, violonist

Tanya LaPerrière began studying violin at the age of 6 with Mr. Claude Leboeuf, who remained her teacher for nearly 10 years.  It was in the small Charles-Le Moyne de Saint-Hubert School in Québec, following the methods of the reputable instructor Shinichi Suzuki, that she developped her violin skills, and above all her philosophy for playing: play in order to make us better human beings.

Having long been inspired to discover the baroque violin, she showed up in the summer of 2004 at the Early Music Academy of Quebec, with the professor Chantal Remillard, and it was nothing less than the beginning of a great love.  She decided to dedicate herself completely to the baroque violin and thus finished her College Preparatory Diploma in this instrument at the Cégep Marie-Victorin in Montréal, with the instructor Claude Deltell.  In 2006, under a full scholarship, she began her baroque violin studies at McGill University in Montreal with Chantal Rémillard. Founding member of the group The Kids, one can also hear her with the well-known Arion and Caprice Ensembles.  She has recorded under the Atma and Analekta labels.
