Lessons

Age: Grade 4+ and Adults (Yes, you!).

I offer what I would refer to as a ‘Nashville’ approach to teaching music. It is rooted in musical theory, but is not chained to the rigid-discipline of a more classical, play-everything-from-sheet-music approach. Lessons are 50 minutes long and include theory learning and skill development/instruction.

Music is like a language, and I aim to give you a vocabulary that allows you to comprehend, and play what you hear and feel. Whether you are playing with a band or by yourself, you will have the theory and musical language to keep up and follow along, or play any song that comes to mind; without needing to look at sheet music, a chord chart, or a YouTube video.

My approach opens the door for people to learn all styles of music. Pop, country, folk, traditional, religious, jazz (etc): I give you the building blocks to learn your favourite styles of music. It allows you to hear music, feel it, and understand what is being played.

 Details & FAQs

  • My lessons will initially revolve around the piano for foundational development. If students wish to also learn acoustic guitar then that can also be incorporated once a student understands the basics.

  • My lessons run from September-December (Fall), and January-April (Winter). Each season is $640 (14 weeks).

    *This includes the lessons, the cost of materials, and a recital at the end of the season.

    Have somebody in your life that is interested in learning music? You can sponsor the cost of their lessons and surprise them with their golden ticket to all-expense-paid lessons!
