She earned earlier degrees from the Hochschule für Musik in Cologne, Germany, and the Conservatoire de musique et d’art dramatique du Québec, Canada.

With a distinguished career in piano pedagogy, Dr. Foccroulle has taught in Canada, Belgium, and Germany, integrating music education, performance, and musicology into her teaching philosophy.
