Looking for an experience, qualified piano teacher for yourself or your child?
I am a skilled pianist and piano teacher of 20 years. I offer a well-rounded approach that includes learning by ear, basic theory, improvisation, and composition as well as the essentials of notation, scales, and solid technique.
My qualifications and experience:
- 20 years of teaching experience, including experience at The Ottawa Conservatory, The Yamaha Piano School, and Long & McQuade
- Honours ARCT in Piano Performance from The Glenn Gould Professional School of the Royal Conservatory of Music (3-year full time program)
- Bachelor of Music Therapy
- Member of the Ontario Registered Music Teachers Association (ORMTA)
- Registered teacher with the Royal Conservatory of Music; successful preparation of dozens of students for RCM exams and university entrance auditions.
- Offering adapted lessons/ music therapy for students who have special needs.
What I offer my students:
- Unconditional support and encouragement for each student to reach his/ her full musical potential.
- Choice in repertoire (students choose pieces they like along with the pieces that I choose for technical purposes)
- Frequent formal and informal performance opportunities such as piano parties, soirees, and "master classes" for teenagers and adults. Halloween parties and Christmas recitals.
- A patient and far-sighted approach that allows for students to develop at their own pace, with short-term and long-term goals communicated frequently to parents.
- Detailed progress reports at the end of the year
