Music nurtures the soul and calms the mind. It has the power to take you on a journey, exercise your creative power, and keep your brain healthy. I am a piano teacher with over 20 years of experience and have taught in UK, France, India, and Canada. I believe music is a pathway to channel our emotions and connect with people. Learning the piano poses challenges which indirectly reflects the obstacles we encounter in life and teaches us resilience. I teach students how to overcome problems, connect with the piano, and build a sense of accomplishment. I help students set realistic goals and interpret the meaning beneath the notes. Whether you're striving for an exam or exploring music by composer, I can design a course for you. My students have received distinction in their ABRSM, RCM, and Trinity exams with some going on to study music at the post-secondary level. I teach adults and children of different abilities in-person and online. Everyone is welcome!
Combined with my kinesiology studies at Simon Fraser University and music degrees, I follow the Dorothy Taubman approach, who was a teacher of Yoheved Kaplinsky and who taught Ian Parker, whom I studied with for 5 years. At the University of Victoria, I was a recipient of numerous musical awards, including the Victoria Registered Music Teachers Scholarship, Madeline Till Competition, Horning Memorial, and Fletcher Piano Scholarships. I completed my Master's degree in piano performance at the prestigious Royal Academy of Music in London, UK studying with the esteemed professor Hamish Milne who was a student of Harold Craxton and Guido Agosti.
It is my mission to nurture my students’ spirit of musical exploration, lateral thinking, and encourage lifelong learning.
My piano studio is located in Caulfeild West Vancouver, a short distance from Caulfeild Elementary School, Rockridge Secondary School, Caulfeild Village, Cypress Park, West Bay, Eagle Harbour, and Horseshoe Bay.
