Overview

Whether you aspire to play Bach or Alicia Keys, I will help you to become the pianist you want to be. I'll introduce you to the fundamentals of sight reading, technique and theory, and incorporate your favourite songs into your lessons. You do not need a full size piano at home to take lessons: a simple full-size electronic keyboard will suffice for the first 6 months.

 

What's the number one reason for taking lessons at Piano Lessons Etobicoke?

I am friendly, supportive and patient and I get to know each student and parent on a personal level. When I say "how are you?" or "how was your week?" I really want to know. I work with each student and parent to craft a program tailored to their unique needs, learning styles and favourite types of music. Whether you're an adult playing in local bands, a 6 year old taking a first lesson or a fifty year old returning to lessons after many years, I will share my passion for piano and help you set attainable goals to achieve your musical aspirations.

Do I need to know how to read music? 

No! Beginners are welcome.

How qualified are you?

I look beginner and intermediate lessons at the Royal Conservatory with Anne Drake, Marina Geringas and Tanya Tkachenko. I studied with concert pianist Boris Zarankin for my ARCT Piano Performers. Additionally, I studied with Alexander Rappoport, former head of the RCM theory department and U of T Faculty of Music instructor, for my advanced theory levels. 

I have been teaching piano for 28 years now and for 15 of those I taught a group lesson program geared towards younger children.

Do I need a piano to learn the instrument?

No you do not need an acoustic piano at home to take lessons. A full size electronic keyboard will suffice for the 1st 6 months. It's very inexpensive to start piano. Costco has keyboards for as low as $199.00
