Teaching Philosophy
My curriculum is designed to cover all major theoretical, technical, and performance aspects to help you prepare for auditions at high school, college, and university music programs throughout North America. I believe in providing students with a well-rounded education that equips them with the necessary skills to excel in their musical endeavors. I teach students of all levels how to read sheet music effectively, play in time with the metronome to develop a strong sense of rhythm, and master the art of sight-reading, which is crucial for successful live performances. Whether you're a beginner or an advanced musician, my goal is to help you build a solid foundation and achieve your musical aspirations with confidence.

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!
