Different levels of students require different lesson lengths. Depending on what you want to achieve, we help structure your lesson so you can reach your goal. With every new student, we can help assess their skills in practical and theory, thus allowing us to better teach the material. We teach in-studio or at the convenience of your home.

Beginner (Levels 1-3)

Starting at $25/Lesson*

We have always recommended our beginner students to start with a 30 minute lesson. This provides students with a sufficient amount of material without overwhelming them, and ensures them enough time to practice at home. Elementary theory lessons are also available. If students are interested in RCM exams, we provide instruction and preparation as well.

Lesson Materials:

  • John Thompson's Modern Course for the Piano - First Grade
  • Keyboard Theory Preparatory Book A by Grace Vandendool (for children)
    or
    Keyboard Theory Basic Elements by Grace Vandendool (for adults)
  • Celebration Series Piano Repertoire and Etudes (Level 2-3)

Intermediate (Levels 4-6)

Starting at $37/Lesson*

For our intermediate students who want to take the practical RCM exams, we work with the Celebration Series books. We also offer intermediate theory lessons, which allows students to take the RCM theory exams as well. For those who want to play leisurely, intermediate students can also bring in their own piano scores to learn. Intermediate lessons usually range between 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Lesson Materials:

  • Celebration Series Piano Repertoire and Etudes (Level 4-6)
  • Elementary Music Rudiments - Intermediate by Mark Sarnecki

Advanced (Levels 7-10)

Starting at $50/Lesson*

While teaching our advanced students, we emphasize the importance of performing and musicianship. This is taught through the Celebration Series books, or through the students' own score selection. We offer advanced level theory lessons as well (history, harmony & counterpoint, and keyboard harmony).

Advanced lessons require students to already have a solid foundation in technical skills and theory

Lesson Materials:

  • Celebration Series Piano Repertoire and Etudes (Level 7-10)
  • Basic Harmony by Mark Sarnecki
  • Explorations 1, A Music History Overview by Janet Lopinski, Joe Ringhofer and Peteris Zarins
