Teaching Philosophy
As a music educator, my goals are to inspire and create passion for music amongst my students, along with creativity for the arts, freedom of expression, and a strong disciplined mind. Music fosters many of those traits purely on its own, but may need an additional outer force to gently nudge them, or provide them with the confidence so that they may achieve their goals with more determination. Each student is unique in their own ways, whether it be strengths or weaknesses. I do not believe that having a set formula to teach or following a rigid lesson plan may work for each and every learner. Instead, I strive to be student-oriented and open minded to what each student would like to achieve. As an educator, creating a safe, and comfortable environment is key when learning a new skill.
Musical Education
I began playing piano at age 7 and as I got older, developed great passion for musical performance, with the sole focus on piano. I obtained my ARCT Diploma in Piano Performance from the Royal Conservatory of Music (RCM), whilst also achieving the highest mark in my district in 2012. During my formative years up to attaining my Diploma, I studied under Xuan Wu and Anna Levy, who both greatly inspired me to take my musical endeavours further. I then auditioned for music school to pursue higher education, and become a professionally trained musician. I achieved my BMus from the University of British Columbia (UBC) studying under Professor Mark Anderson, chair of the keyboard division. The warm, delicate tones he produced on the keyboard along with beautiful metaphors that connected art, and music together affected my views significantly in terms of how I connected with music. This inspired me to extend my studies to involve a focus on music education in hopes to become a music teacher in the public school system, motivating, and promoting the importance of music learning in youths.
Lessons on an online platform

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!
