Teaching Philosophy
Music is more than just a skill; it's an art, a philosophy, and a language. My vision as a teacher is to inspire students not only to learn the techniques of music but also to understand its historical and cultural significance. Through my teaching, I want to share the joy and elegance of music with my students. Apart from my passion for music, I also work as a professional accountant in the senior housing sector. This experience has shown me the great need for music education among seniors. I have a special vision for teaching piano to adults, especially seniors, and I am committed to providing them with a meaningful and enriching musical experience.

Our Promise to You
Getting Started Together
We don't offer free trials, but we do something better - a relaxed 2-lesson getting-to-know-you period. You can pause anytime with just 24 hours notice. After your third lesson, we ask for a friendly 2-lesson heads up if you need to stop.
Life Happens - We Get It
Give us 24 hours notice for any cancellation or reschedule and you'll receive full credit. Planning a family vacation or summer break? Perfect - just let us know a day ahead and we'll pause your lessons.
When You're Under the Weather
If illness strikes with short notice (less than 24 hours), you'll still be charged since your teacher has reserved that time. However, most teachers are happy to offer makeup lessons when possible - they have the final say, especially if last-minute cancellations become a pattern.
Stopping Lessons
Need to take a break? We just ask for a 2-lesson notice:
Weekly lessons = 2 weeks notice
Every other week = 3 weeks notice
Twice weekly = 1 week notice
Summer breaks are different - no notice period needed when you return in the fall!
