A large, acoustically-optimised space. Top tier pianos and historical keyboards. A multi-microphone, multi-camera recording setup. Extensive music scores.
It's the perfect piano lounge—there's nowhere else like it.
With freely positionable instruments and comfy lounge seating, the studio has been used for rehearsals, audition recordings, professional recordings, and house concerts.
Classes are highly personalised, and the studio is limited to a very small group, allowing for flexible scheduling, additional time, and significantly more recital time per pianist.
On top of regular lessons, students receive all-inclusive practice assistance, complimentary concert tickets, recording services, accompaniment, studio classes, custom music projects, and more.
The studio has produced upper-level RCM and ARMTA medalists and provincial festival performers, and is frequently sought out for RCM 10+ exam preparation.
Students at all playing levels are considered, but should fall into one of the following categories:
Students comfortably playing at RCM 6 or higher by age 10
Students preparing for diploma exams or BMus auditions
Beginners age 7 or under
Adults with prior training at an intermediate or higher level
Please see 'expectations for students' (below) for more information.
Regardless of age or level, all students must:
Treat their music study as a priority.
Piano requires time and dedication, and having too many additional extra-curriculars is a major barrier to making progress, and is a factor in whether or not students will be accepted into lessons.
Be motivated, focused, and teachable.
Having an open mind and being receptive to musical ideas, from practice methods to interpretation, is a great benefit to improving as a musician and at the piano specifically.
Commit to daily practice and progress.
All students must be able to practise effectively and consistently. Students who cannot maintain a practise schedule will have their lessons cancelled.
