Teaching Philosophy
As younger musician and teacher, I strongly believe that music is a way of life that should be preserved. Instead of teaching music as another academic outlet, My goal is to allow students to develop and explore their own musical talent and voice.
Musical Education
As of currently, I am enrolled in University of Toronto in the Bachelor of Music program. I started playing piano at the age of eight. Recently, I have obtained my ARCT Diploma under extensive studies with Alan Hobbins. I have also participated various piano competition, recitals, and concerts; ORMTA Honour's recital and North York Music Festival, to name a few.
Lessons on an online platform
Matthew 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!
