Meet Our Richmond Team!
Taisha Lesser
She/HerOwner & Founder, Piano and Voice Instructor
Taisha is the founder and director of Omnes Arts Circle. After completing her Master’s degree in Voice Performance and Pedagogy at Memorial University of Newfoundland, she returned to her hometown of Perth to open The Music Circle in 2016. What started as a small in-home studio quickly grew into a thriving program offering music lessons, preschool classes, and school outreach. In 2018, Taisha expanded the business by purchasing Arts in Motion Perth School of Dance, bringing music and dance together under one roof and renaming the studio Omnes Arts Circle—Latin for “all.”
Taisha is passionate about creating an inclusive space where every student feels welcome, supported, and inspired to explore their creativity. She is a dedicated music teacher specializing in beginner piano and beginner to advanced voice, with a passion for nurturing each student's unique talents. With a personalized approach, she tailors every lesson to individual goals, helping her students grow in skill and confidence. Taisha believes that music education not only develops discipline, patience, and focus, but also fosters creativity, emotional expression, and a lifelong appreciation for the arts.
Since moving to Richmond in 2024, Taisha has enjoyed spending more time with her family and teaming up with her partner on creative projects around the house. Now that she’s settled into the rhythm of a new town, she’s excited to bring Omnes programming to her new community!
