Teaching Philosophy
Throughout my time as a teacher, the best part of a lesson is seeing my students really enjoy the music! Age doesn't matter; there's a love for music in everyone. I'd be so happy to help you on your learning journey.
Musical Education
I am classically trained according to the Royal Conservatory of Music standards, qualifying for intermediate levels. I have also completed the advanced rudiments and history courses.
Awards and Distinctions
O.R.M.T.A. Achievement Award, 2016 - Received 99% in the Advanced Rudiments Course.
Special Skills and Trainings
In addition to teaching, I am a volunteer at the William Osler Brampton Civic Hospital as a pianist. I specialize in playing relaxing lounge music, including popular film arrangements, calming japanese compositions, and a variety of jazz standards. I am also established as a special needs piano teacher at a number of schools. No matter the student, each class is carefully ensured to be a valuable and enjoyable experience.
Lessons on an online platform
Kathleen can provide online instruction. While other platforms are possible BAH strongly recommends the use of the Zoom video conferencing platform as it is optimized for music lessons and audio quality.Reviews

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!
