Online or In Person: Piano and Music Theory Lessons

From 82.73 C$ /h

There is not a better time to study the piano! Experienced, dedicated, and fun instruction for your goals at the instrument.
I am a University music professor, now based in Østerbro, Copenhagen, with 20 years of experience teaching across Canada and the United States.

My students work in classical and popular styles, toward goals of examination preparations, university and conservatory acceptances, as well as learning a specific style or set of pieces, or simply for life enrichment. Music is the ultimate way to communicate and to express, and it is my goal for my students to equip themselves to do just that.

Lessons are taught at my home in Østerbro or online.

As a teacher of certificate programs for twenty years, and with over 5 years teaching at the college level to undergraduate and graduate students, my skillset is constantly developing.

Available to teach at all levels for piano, music theory and history lessons, as well as tutoring for conservatory music courses.

About Me

It is my goal to equip my students with the tools they need to become independent, curious learners. Working with an individualized approach, each student helps to set goals, and I provide structures, tools, and motivate to achieve those goals.

I have been teaching for over 20 years, and love my work! Teaching is a joyful experience- being a part of the process of discovery is one of my favorite parts of my work. My students are prizewinners and hobbyists; late bloomers, young starts, and everything in between. What we all have in common is a love of music and of learning.

I have founded music schools, worked in private lesson settings, and worked for several years as a professor at an American university teaching all levels. My own work includes a concert schedule of solo and group performances all over the world; I make music videos and documentaries, paint, and am an avid lover of art, design, and beautiful plants!

My experience as a musician crosses genres, styles, disciplines.... and I love my work. There is nothing more rewarding than sharing the thrill of music with others- especially my students.
