The lesson focus is on the student to help them develop the necessary skills to be able to read, write, learn, and perform music on their own. This is done through weekly private instruction, with the focus on proper technique and music theory. The students are encouraged to learn how to play by sight and by ear. The interests and abilities of the student are incorporated into the lessons to make the materials meaningful to them. A variety of music styles are included to expose them to multiple genres (classical, popular, jazz, blues, contemporary).
I use the goals and materials outlined by The Royal Conservatory to ensure that the students have levels of progress that they can achieve and see, although other materials and interests are often explored as expressed by the student.
Lessons are open to students from age 3 to adult.
Lessons are provided either in-person at 400 Speedvale Avenue East, Guelph Ontario or online through Zoom.
