Huguette Lavigne - Musician

Following retirement after 23 years in the classroom, Huguette's musical inspirations truly blossomed when she began composing pieces at her living room grand piano. At first, she committed pieces to memory.

"Not notating everything down keeps things fresh. You are open to new phrases and resolutions. This is risky, but oh so satisfying! There is something about breaking the rules that is terribly satisfying. My fingers sometimes go where they want to on the keyboard and I sort of have to take them back home or rein them in."

After unsuccessful attempts to record her own music, Huguette opted for a professional studio, developed a website, and hired Canadian music correspondent, blogger, radio host and music promoter Eric Alper.

Four albums later and another on the way, as well as several music videos to her credit, Huguette looks forward to even greater productivity going forward.

Featured on streaming platforms such as Amazon Music, Apple Music, iTunes, Spotify, YouTube Music, etc., Huguette's compositions have also earned a place on playlists at CBC Music, CBC Radio One and CKCU Radio. Her piano pieces have also garnered praise from music critics at OLM Ottawalife Magazine, CASHBOX Magazine Canada, Canadian Beats Media, Tinnitist, BK On The Scene, and Record World International—the second-oldest music industry publication behind Billboard.

Huguette's last assignment was at Blossom Park Public School where she taught music and core French.
