Teaching Philosophy
I'm very passionate about sharing the joy of learning piano. I like to present concepts to students in the simplest way possible, ensuring the process stays fun, creative and inspiring. My teaching style is very relaxed and intuitive as opposed to strict and demanding. My aim is to instill a deep love and appreciation for music so it will become a lifelong companion for you the way it has been for me. I look forward to meeting you and embarking on our musical journey together!
Musical Education
My parents started me in piano lessons at the age of 5, I went through the RCM program in my teens and went on to earn a bachelor's degree from York University. At York I studied classical piano with Karen Rymal and improvisation with Casey Sokol. I have a wide interest in styles ranging from classical piano to rock, jazz, blues and world music

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!
