Best Piano Instructor Ottawa Near Me

4worldlovers:
After years of professional piano performance and a long teaching career, I now offer my knowledge, experience and enthusiasm of piano playing from my home in Ottawa.

My private piano lessons are for all ages starting at 8 years old to adults and any level of experience from beginners to professionals. Lessons are offered on a Heintzman grand piano used on stage for some of my concerts.

I tailor my lessons to each and every student's abilities, whether the student is a beginner or a professional, improving their strengths and correcting their weaknesses. I always aim to gradually and carefully develop a solid technique that serves musicianship and artistry in piano playing. My lessons can help with planning an exam, preparing for a concert or competition performance; or playing the piano for leisure and pleasure.

Preparation lessons for all levels of Royal Conservatory exams (RCM exams) are available.

Advanced students preparing for a professional career are also welcome for consultation regarding solutions for specific technical problems, to work on a healthy contact with the instrument, on relaxation techniques and the psychological aspects of stage performance.
