Teaching Philosophy
I have always been very passionate about sharing the love of music with my students. I particularly enjoy teaching children, building their confidence as well as training their discipline throughout a lifetime. My lesson provides musical challenges as well as customized plans for kids to enjoy learning piano while having fun. J'ai toujours été très passionné par le partage de l'amour de la musique avec mes élèves. J'aime particulièrement enseigner aux enfants, renforcer leur confiance ainsi que former leur discipline tout au long de leur vie. Ma leçon propose des défis musicaux ainsi que des plans personnalisés permettant aux enfants d'apprendre le piano tout en s'amusant.
Musical Education
I began my musical exploration in piano from the age of 6 and started teaching kids in 2018. I have successfully completed Grade 8 in the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM).

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!
