Teaching Philosophy
I believe teaching music is a vital skill that will benefit a person's education. It is important that my students are interested in the content they are learning and I hope to inspire them to be curious and explore the infinite possibilities music can offer. Whatever you put into practicing is what you will get out and I hope to mentor my students with that mentality.
Musical Education
I started studying piano when I was 4 and have an ARCT performance degree from the Royal Conservatory of Music. I have taught piano for 12 years in my home teaching students of various ages in classical and pop 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!
