Private lessons are offered in-studio year-round in both piano and theory for 48 weeks of the year. All levels of piano and theory are offered, from beginner to very advanced. Piano lessons are offered in a variety of musical genres, depending on the student’s musical preferences. Lessons are individualized to suit each student’s needs and goals. Emphasis is placed on good technique, playing with fluency and beautiful musical expression at the piano. Music theory is integrated at the beginner levels for optimal learning. Lessons can include improvisation, composition, and learning to play by ear for well-rounded musicianship. RCM exam preparation available.
Student recitals are held twice a year in the spring and winter at Shadbolt Centre for the Arts to provide students with essential performing experience and learn performance etiquette in preparation for examinations, auditions, and competitions.
