​

Since 1990 I have been teaching piano in Calgary, initially at Mount Royal University and now within my private studio in Lakeview.

I specialize in European classical training, RCM preparation and competition coaching for students aged 5 and up. My students have earned numerous scholarships and awards at music festivals, RCM gold medals and even performed at Carnegie Hall. If you are serious about piano, I would be delighted to meet you.
