Each student, regardless of their musical level, will have a different way of thinking, absorbing knowledge, interpreting constructive criticism and comments during their lessons, that is why I mold the study program based on the needs and desires of each student. As an educator it is important to recognize that flexibility is one of the most important tools in the educational field. Flexibility implies that in a special situation you are able to make changes to the lesson plan or activities at the precise moment in which they occur. Read More

I offer Piano and Music theory lessons to students of all ages and levels. Each of my student gets customized curriculum and repertoire.

Do you want to play just for your self or would you like to perform publicly? Do you like to be on stage or do you have a fear of stage? Read More

My teaching experience dates back to my college days in Toronto, where I started teaching privately. I started teaching part-time about 5 years ago, and have been consistently teaching since.

For adults, I try to find out what the student is interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level. Read More
