APPROACH TO TEACHING

I am a teacher who believes in teaching the basic fundamentals of music until they are fully understood by the student. When the groundwork has been prepared, the rest is easy. I discuss the piano lessons with the student and discover at what level they are functioning. I then carefully match the child with the teaching method best suited to them. I also like to involve them in the choice of music they want to learn and play. I believe the more a student can communicate to me their goals and aspirations, the better I can help them.


LESSONS

There are 11 weeks to each piano term which is comprised of a weekly lesson 30 minutes in duration. Tuition is $330.00 per term. There are 3 terms available each year. The first piano term begins in September (one week after the school year begins) and the last term ends in mid-June.

Note: Tuition also includes 2 recitals per year. Lessons are available Monday to Wednesday from 4:00pm to 7:00pm.
