Piano Lessons in Scarborough. Amazing Teachers.

We study baroque, classical, and romantic period music, pop, jazz, blues, music theory, and technique all rolled into one piano lesson as students progress.
Everyone studies piano for different reasons! I'm happy to guide my students along whatever their path may be.

I've been teaching piano now for 15 years. My goal is for the student to learn to play by feel in addition to reading music. A standard lesson would consist of some playing in books and going over some music theory followed by playing by feel. This would include blues,jazz, and rock grooves. My approach is creative and customized to the prospective student. The student needs to enjoy learning the piano. A happy student is a successful one.

Piano lessons through me are taken from an encouraging and with free will expression via the development of skills and tools to become the very best students can be.

Students would learn through repetition with the teacher how to work through music as difficulty level increases. Proficiency and knowledge of the basics are important components that would be covered extensively. This will help students to develop their musicianship skills better.

As a teacher of piano it is my goal to help students learn what they need to know through piano to play music they want to do. Very important is the students input as they explore their own love for music here.
