The first lesson includes introduction to playing piano/keyboard such as how to sit at the piano, finger numbers, piano tones, and the keyboard. We will discuss right hand- and left-hand position, starting with the C position. We will discuss basic theory such as grand staff, time signature, rhythm, and repeat signs. Students will learn 5-finger warm-ups and basic chord structure. There will be an introduction to scales as well as broken and solid chords. I teach through the methods of Faber Piano Adventures and RCM; no books necessary, but sometimes helpful. Students will have an understanding of where middle C is on the piano as well as note recognition. the second lesson beginner students will learn how to play nursery rhymes and simple melodies from any beginner sheet music or books. Intermediate students will continue to develop their skills while adapting new methods for improved technique. The third lesson will be learning songs from the Piano Adventures Books such as My Pony and Row Your Boat and scales and chords. I like to keep my classes lighthearted. If there are any songs the student wishes to learn, we will have fun learning them. I look forward to making music with your child.

I played 5 years in the Hamilton All-Star Jazz Band performing at the IJEA in New York City with Adrean Farrugia and Diana Panton. After graduating from the Applied Music Program, I went on to study Jazz Performance at the University of Toronto studying with Phil Nimmons, Mike Malone, Brian Dickinson, and Kirk MacDonald. I performed on cruise ships for 3 years, playing piano in the Jazz Trio all over North America, the Caribbean, Hawaii, and Alaska.
Up until the COVID-19 crisis, I divided my time between teaching in person at Capstone Music and privately, plus performing Rock, Pop, Jazz & Blues at many venues across the greater Toronto and Hamilton area. Although playing gigs has been paused for the foreseeable future, I continue to enjoy teaching my students through online platforms either through Outschool.Reviews
