Teaching Philosophy
What sets me apart is my unwavering passion for both music and education. I believe in fostering a deep connection between my students and the piano, not only by imparting technical skills but also by nurturing their love for music. My teaching style is characterized by a personalized approach, tailoring lessons to each student's unique learning style and goals. I strive to create a supportive and encouraging environment that empowers students to express themselves through the piano. Additionally, I integrate diverse musical genres and styles into my curriculum, providing a well-rounded musical education that sparks creativity and broadens musical horizons. With a commitment to continuous learning and innovation, I embrace new teaching methodologies and technologies to ensure a dynamic and enriching educational experience. Ultimately, my goal is to instill a lifelong appreciation for music in my students and equip them with the skills to become confident and expressive pianists.
Musical Education
I have music education in ABRSM and RCM (Royal Conservatory Music). I currently hold the following degrees from RCM: # LRCM (Licentiate Performance Diploma) # ARCT(Associate Diploma) I am trained in classical music, but have since expanded my repertoire to include modern music, pop, jazz, TV/Movie/Anime soundtracks. I attended Arts Unionville music program, and have experience working with orchestra and choir. My principle teacher and biggest inspiration is Mr Pugach from the Rimsky-Korsakov State Conservatory in St. Petersburg.

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!
