Here's the deal...

I've been playing piano for almost 20 years now, it is one of my most persistent and personally satisfying hobbies. I took piano lessons starting in middle school right up to graduation, making it through 7 grades in the Canadian Royal Conservatory of Music program (RCM). I got an digital piano as soon as I graduated and it has never sat idle since. In that time I have continued learning what I can and continuously picked up new sheet music on- and offline to learn. I have finally gathered enough confidence in myself and my skills that I want to talk about music with people, I want to show you how interesting it is!

Here's what I can do:

• ◆ Teach you everything there is to know about reading sheet music
• ⦁ How to locate notes on a staff
• ⦁ What different note lengths mean
• ⦁ How to recognize chords
• ⦁ How to navigate the system for repeating sections (repeats and codas)
• ◆ Counting rhythm
• ◆ Measuring intervals
• ◆ Scales and key signatures
• ◆ Recognizing and constructing chords
• ◆ Talk about the ways music is transcribed for different skill levels
• ◆ Help you learn a song, from start to finish

No previous knowledge required.

I can show you as much or as little as you're interested in. From full on lessons and practice exercise, to just letting me ramble at you about theory for an hour.

I will work with you even if you do not have an instrument.

This limits how much of the practical piano-specific stuff I might go into, but that just means we can focus on *reading* the music and the more general theory that can be applied to music outside of live performance.
