I'm a fun and passionate music teacher who loves to work with different individuals and make them as excited as I am about making music! 15 years ago I began my music lessons as a child and I never stopped. After, playing in solo performances and 3 different symphony's in Vancouver, BC. Although I didn't pursue my university education in music, I have always been very active in the field of music and have comprehensive knowledge about music theory, performance, and practice.

Instruments: Piano
I travel to all of my students houses and have a very flexible schedule. It helps with minimizing the time of the parents/ students travel and bringing the lesson into the comfort of their own home. I check with each student what they are really trying to get out of their lessons and which direction they want to go. For the kids I make it extra fun with lots of prizes and games to motivate them and wanting to learn more.I love watching the talent of kids explode into something beautiful. Read More
Instruments: Piano Bass Guitar
As someone who delights in music myself, what I want more than anything for a student is to foster that same love of music in him or her. Students need to know that anything worthwhile takes hard work. But if they are intrinsically motivated, they will find it much easier to apply themselves to the task of practicing their instrument. That's why I strive as a teacher to acknowledge any strides my students make and point out to them how their efforts have paid off. Read More

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
My biggest accomplishment was memorizing Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata to perform at a recital. I practiced that song for nearly a year and performed with various other students at our yearly recital. It's 201 measures long with 3 parts and takes about 15 minutes to play. To this day that is the longest piece I've memorized in it's entirety.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The most difficult thing to master is playing both hands at once in time with each other (or something offset with each other). I recommend when learning to play that you start with Heart and Soul to get the feel of your left hand moving separately from your right hand. If you practice enough, you will get the feel for it and be prepared for more advanced pieces. There are also finger exercises for left and right hand movement to help the student overcome this difficulty.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Do they have an interest in piano? Are they capable of learning new things on their own? Do they have the fortitude to not give up when they make mistakes? Generally, if they are motivated to learn and desire to do so, they are ready! Being in a supportive environment even when they make mistakes is also crucial to a child's ability to stay at the instrument.
When will I start to see results?
If you or your child are learning, being able to show off small songs and scales should be fairly quick. The early days are very important for learning fingering and reading sheet music. Once the student has an understanding of the basics, learning a small song is just around the corner. I would say a few weeks to months (depending on how often lessons are) they should be ready for their first small performance!
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Always practice for at least a consecutive hour a day. My personal go to is to learn one hand, then the other, then play the song at a slow pace with a metronome so you can get the style down. Once you've done that, start speeding up to the tempo of the song until you can play the entire thing! I prefer to memorize my music, but if you must use the sheet, have someone turn the pages for you or learn good times to turn the page yourself. Usually it's best to memorize the passages right before and after the page turn so you can find a good break and don't mess up the piece.
