My teaching is different because I’ve personally experienced the flaws of traditional music education. I grew up in systems that focused heavily on structure, exams, and rules — and while I didn’t enjoy it at the time, I chose to study it deeply so I could understand how to do it better. Today, I blend academic knowledge with emotional connection. I aim to make music feel expressive, personal, and meaningful — while still grounding students in solid technique and theory. I’ve found a balance that keeps learning both disciplined and enjoyable.

I teach all ages, from young children to adults — and even seniors. Each age group learns differently, so I adapt my teaching style based on where the student is in their musical journey. Whether you’re six or sixty, the lessons will always be tailored to your goals, personality, and pace.

Yes, I offer a free trial lesson to all new students. It’s a no-pressure opportunity to get a feel for the lesson structure, ask questions, and make sure we’re a good fit. It’s also a great way for me to learn more about your goals and musical background (if any), so I can customize the path ahead.

You can find the most up-to-date information on lesson pricing by visiting the Pricing page on this website. Rates may vary depending on lesson length, location, and service type. Payments are usually handled monthly via e-transfer, but flexible options are available depending on your needs.

You can find full details about lesson lengths and structures on the Services page. Generally, piano classes are 45 minutes long, but depending on the student’s focus for the day or the level of the material, lessons can occasionally extend up to an hour. Flexibility is built into the structure — the goal is always to match the lesson length with the student's needs and attention span.

For small children, it’s completely okay to start with a MIDI keyboard, electric organ, or any basic keyboard instrument, as long as it has full-size keys. For teenagers and adults, however, I don’t recommend starting without access to either a digital or acoustic piano, as it’s crucial to build proper technique and dynamics early on. That said, there are still ways to begin learning without owning an instrument — and we can talk about practical solutions during the consultation.

You won’t need to purchase any books or materials in advance. Everything is provided and handed to you during each session — from sheet music and technical exercises to practice guides and theory worksheets. However, if you're a serious student, I always encourage building your own personal music library over time. Also, for some students, a small fee may be requested to cover a basic music notation book or beginner materials — but nothing expensive or excessive.

Life happens — I understand. If you're unable to attend a lesson, just let me know at least 48 hours in advance, and we’ll reschedule at no extra charge. That said, repeated cancellations can disrupt progress, so I encourage consistency as much as possible.
If the cancellation notice is given less than 48 hours before the lesson, a partial cancellation fee (one-third of the session cost) may apply, as that time has already been reserved for you.

Yes, 100%. I believe music education should be accessible to everyone, and in many cases, students with learning differences or neurodivergent traits connect with music in a deeply meaningful way. Every student learns differently, and I take time to adapt my approach based on each individual’s unique needs. I’m committed to creating a supportive, respectful, and encouraging environment for every learner.

Definitely. Whether you're looking for support with harmony, ear training, music theory, or help preparing for a project or exam, I can help you strengthen your understanding and feel more confident. Just reach out to schedule a consultation, and we’ll work together to set up a plan that fits your course and academic goals.

Progress is tracked using a mix of physical notes and digital tools. After each lesson, we’ll log what we worked on, what needs review, and set goals for the following week. Over time, we’ll review your milestones and reflect on how far you’ve come, what areas need polishing, and what challenges we’re ready to take on next. It’s a collaborative process that keeps both student and teacher aware, aligned, and motivated.

Yes, absolutely. I’m very familiar with the Royal Conservatory of Music (RCM) system and can guide students through RCM levels up to Level 11, and possibly even Level 12 depending on the student’s pace and goals. Whether you're preparing for exams in piano performance, theory, or ear training, I can help you get there with the right tools and a balanced, structured approach.
