Huizi
Piano & Percussion: Technique, Expression, and Artistry with Dr. Wang
I hold a Doctorate in Music from McGill University’s Schulich School of Music, where I specialized in percussion under the mentorship of internationally acclaimed performers and pedagogues. My musical training began with classical piano studies at the age of five and continued with rigorous instruction through my adolescence. I studied with teachers trained in the Chinese Central Conservatory tradition, whose pedagogical lineage includes disciples of renowned pianists such as Fou Ts'ong and Yin Chengzong. My piano repertoire covered major works from the Classical and Romantic periods, and I was a regular participant in national youth competitions and conservatory masterclasses in China. In percussion, I studied under Aiyun Huang and Fabrice Marandola—both leading figures in contemporary percussion—and took part in masterclasses with Steven Schick and Dame Evelyn Glennie. As a performer, I have collaborated with ensembles including the Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal and leading contemporary music groups, bringing a versatile and international perspective to my musical work. I have taught both piano and percussion to students of all ages and levels, from absolute beginners to advanced and professional musicians. I teach all styles of music—classical, pop, jazz, and contemporary—and tailor each lesson to fit the student’s individual goals, interests, and learning pace. Whether working with amateur students exploring music for the first time or preparing advanced students for auditions and performances, my teaching is grounded in respect, encouragement, and a commitment to developing each student's unique artistic voice.

Lancelot
French Made Simple: Language, Support & Culture / From Paris to Canada
My name is Lancelot. I’m a native French speaker from Paris, currently studying architecture after completing a degree in international economics. I’ve always had a passion for languages, culture, and sharing knowledge. I lived in Edmonton, Alberta for a year as part of an exchange program, and I’m fluent in both French and English. I'm enthusiastic, curious, and open-minded, and I enjoy creating connections through language and culture. Teaching French is a way for me to share not only the language, but also the richness of French daily life, expressions, and traditions. I offer a variety of French language sessions tailored to different needs, levels, and interests. These include: Academic Support: Help with school homework, grammar explanations, reading comprehension, and preparation for French-language exams or assessments. Test & Exam Review: Focused revision sessions to prepare for specific tests, including oral practice, writing skills, and targeted grammar exercises. Cultural Discovery: Sessions that go beyond the language to explore French culture—through music, film, food, history, and everyday life in France. Conversation Workshops: Casual, friendly opportunities to improve spoken French through guided conversation, games, and roleplay, adapted to each level. Interactive Activities in French: Thematic workshops and animations (games, storytelling, creative activities) conducted entirely in French to make language learning fun and immersive—ideal for children or groups. Whether you are a beginner, a student needing support, or simply curious about French language and culture, I’m happy to adapt each session to your goals and interests. Sessions can be individual or in groups, online or in person depending on location and availability.

Mauve
Private lessons in violin, musical composition and computer-aided music
Hello! I use different learning methods depending on the profile of each student. In all cases, I transmit a real working method that will be useful for your entire life as a musician! I usually divide the course into 2 parts, with a more technical part (warming up the hand and working on left hand agility, small exercises on the problems you might encounter), and a more musical part with the pieces. If you don't know how to read scores, I can also teach music theory or use an auditory learning method! I also often suggest playing in a duet, because music is above all a sharing :) My teaching experience is varied: I have taught very young beginners (4 years old) and less young, and I also take care of the improvement of more advanced students! I also offer support in addition to courses at conservatories for example. I have been offering courses for 4 years now and I have always had excellent feedback from long-time students! :) If you are interested in composing, don't hesitate! I work for film music and I was assistant to a composer in Hollywood. I also won many international awards for my projects.
