Reading music can be tough for young children, so we’ll slowly develop their reading skills while building their confidence. There’s a CD to play along with at home, and a writing book with colourful exercises to keep it fun.

How do you know if your child is ready to start lessons? For a child to start piano lessons, they should be able to:

• Count to ten
• Read the alphabet a little
• Wiggle their fingers independently
• Know right hand vs. left hand
• Be able to focus for 10 minutes at a time

The focus of our music studio is one-on-one piano lessons. We start with the fundamentals of music and will ultimately direct students towards the Royal Conservatory of Music graded system. Each year, we prepare students for both the RCM practical and theory examinations.

Not only will we show you the fundamentals of sight-reading, technique and theory, we can also incorporate your favourite songs into your lessons. We also teach a variety of music styles, including classical, jazz, pop, rock and many others. Whether you want to learn Bach or Alicia Keys, our teachers are happy to help you become the pianist you want to be.

For the most advanced we offer the expertise of Wilson Man, senior examiner for the Royal Conservatory of Music.  Wilson teaches on our Schimmel grand piano—one of the finest made pianos in the world.

For committed students, we can guide to you  take your playing to a higher artistic level.

The Royal Conservatory of Music examinations are designed to eventually prepare you for a concert level performance.  At the senior exam level, you are expected to demonstrate your command of the keyboard.  You must play with conviction, and leave little doubt about your ability to cope with demanding works.
