Teaching Philosophy
I guide students in discovering their own sound and style on the piano, encouraging creativity and self-expression. With a solid foundation in theory and technique, they gain the confidence and skills to explore music in unique and meaningful ways. I specialize in jazz and improvisation, and tailor each lesson to the student’s interests—whether that’s jazz, pop, or original compositions—so that making music stays fresh, inspiring, and genuinely enjoyable.
Musical Education
I have attended the following schools earning the following degrees/certificates: - Concordia University - Bachelor of Fine Arts in Jazz Studies - McGill University - Bachelor of Arts in Music and Psychology - Berklee College of Music - Professional Certificate in Keyboard Skills
Special Skills and Trainings
With a background in psychology, I strive to create a supportive environment where students can learn and grow in their own unique ways. I’ve also mentored students and led community music sessions that emphasize connection and creativity, making lessons a space where students feel comfortable and inspired to find their own voice. I perform regularly in a variety of settings—from cozy cafés and jazz bars to big bands and community centers. These diverse experiences keep my playing fresh and versatile, giving me real-world insights into improvisation, style, and collaboration. Performing live also teaches me to listen deeply and adapt quickly—skills I love sharing with my students to help them become confident, expressive musicians.

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!
