Julianne Warkentin is a creative Canadian composer, piano and theory teacher, festival adjudicator, accompanist, performer and presenter. Along with her ARCT in piano performance, her published compositions have been performed in examinations and festivals across Canada.

As a child, Julianne began composing for special occasions and for self-expression. She believes that music is the universal language of the heart and a form of healing. 

She is inspired by the beauty of nature, family, students, animals, pets and anything that makes a visual or emotional impact on her. She has also composed specifically for her wonderful students in mind.

One of her greatest pleasures as a composer is to connect with teachers and students who are playing her compositions.

Julianne resides with her husband and pets in Winnipeg, Manitoba. In her leisure time she enjoys cooking, sketching, reading, nature walks, coffee with friends and spending time with her family.
