Piano + Theory Lessons
Piano Lessons
Each lesson is 1/2 hour individual class where
we cover technical exercising to build a strong foundation for
playing repertoire pieces.
In the early stages, the focus will be note reading
and keyboard familiarity as well as understanding rhythm and use
of a metronome to maintain even tempos.
The program progresses with introductory level
of the Royal Conservatory of Music and on to the graded levels.
Once Grade One level is reached, the student is encouraged to
take the Royal Conservatory Grade One exam.
Music exams are held in January, June and August.
Preparations for these exams are done in class with the goal of
having the student achieve high level of performance and receive
the certification through the Royal Conservatory.
Music Theory
Each lesson includes some theory and with this
gained knowledge, students have a better understanding for music.
This in turn raises their confidence level and makes for a strong
practice routine.
The rudiments theory exam have 3 levels namely:
Basic, Intermediate and Senior. These levels are CO-requisites
for the Practical levels starting with Grade 5.
Since some theory is already taught during weekly
lessons, a minimal amount of additional 'theory lessons' may be
required to review material and do mock exams.
It is worth noting that my students consistently
score high marks in Royal Conservatory Exams.

years olds.
