In this special podcast episode, the EMSB celebrates Pierre Elliott Trudeau Elementary School teacher Ms. Arianne Asly-Verdon (Mme Arianne), a bilingual music educator whose joyful, inclusive approach has transformed music education at her school.

Through creativity, play, and digital music-making, Mme Arianne empowers students to express themselves, build confidence, and develop emotional awareness. Her lessons blend music theory, culture, and technology, using tools like Chrome Music Lab and BeepBox, and encouraging performances in French, English, and sign language.

From composing video game soundtracks to leading school-wide Talent Shows and inclusive holiday concerts, she creates safe, inspiring spaces where every student feels heard. A dedicated advocate for arts education, she has also personally invested in instruments and resources to build a thriving music program.
