I recommend starting music lessons around 4-5 years of age, although the best age can vary depending on the child. At this age, their interest and readiness to learn are key factors. Piano is often a fantastic instrument choice for young beginners due to its accessibility and foundational role in music education.
Absolutely not! It’s never too late to start learning music. Whether you’re a complete beginner or someone returning to music after a break, my lessons are tailored to accomodate learners of all ages and skill levels. Many adults find great joy and fulfillment in learning to play an instrument or improving their musical skills. I am experienced in working with adult learners and can tailor lessons to meet your specific goals and interests. So don’t hesitate to start your musical journey—no matter your age!

We offer convenient payment options including cash or e-transfer, with e-transfers subject to HST. My rates are competitive and reflect the high-quality instruction and personalized attention you’ll receive during your lessons. I’m committed to providing affordable yet effective music education to our students.
Our payment policy requires fees to be paid monthly in advance of lessons. This ensures that your spot is reserved. If you have any further questions or would like to schedule lessons, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
For beginners, I typically recommend 30-minute lessons. As students progress and their repertoire and skills expand, longer lesson times become beneficial. Advanced students usually find 45 to 60-minute lessons more suitable. I will assess your progress and provide guidance on when to adjust the lesson length to accommodate your needs.
To register for lessons, simply reach out via email or phone. I’ll guide you through the registration process, answer any questions you may have, and help you select the best lesson plan for your needs. Once you’ve chosen your desired lesson length and schedule, I’ll finalize the registration details and provide you with any additional information you may need.
Our cancellation policy allows for flexibility while also ensuring the smooth operation of our studio. We kindly request that you provide at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your lesson. This allows us to offer the time slot to another student who may be waiting.
Regarding our weather policy, safety is our top priority. In the event of severe weather conditions or other emergencies, we may need to cancel lessons for the day. We will notify you as soon as possible in such cases and work with you to reschedule your lesson at a convenient time.
While having your own instrument is beneficial for consistent practice, it’s not always necessary, especially when just starting out. However, as you advance, having access to an instrument for regular practice at home is essential for progress and development. I can provide recommendations on purchasing or renting an instrument based on your needs and budget.
While I don’t offer instrument rentals directly, I can certainly point you in the right direction. I can provide recommendations for reputable rental services in your area, ensuring you have access to quality instruments for your lessons. Feel free to reach out to me, and I’ll be happy to assist you in finding the perfect rental solution to suit your needs.
