Teacher Services

Teaching piano requires guidance and training, just like learning to play the instrument itself. As a piano teacher’s studio grows — from the first few students to a full, established roster — having informed support can make the journey clearer, more sustainable, and far more rewarding.

​

With over 15 years of teaching experience, I have worked in a wide range of professional settings, including private music schools, in-home teaching, online lesson platforms, and my own home studio. I have also managed a music lesson centre with 14 teachers and over 400 students, giving me a broad perspective on both individual studios and larger teaching organizations.

​

My services support independent piano teachers at every stage of their studio journey — from launching a private piano studio to refining teaching systems, studio policies, and long-term business sustainability. Areas of support include studio organization, curriculum planning, exam and performance preparation, student retention, parent communication, lesson structure, and creating sustainable teaching workflows that support both the teacher and their students.

The Royal Conservatory of Music has 3 levels of pedagogy,  Elementary, Intermediate, and Advanced, and offers examinations at all three levels. Private weekly lessons are recommended in order to cover the necessary materials to complete the certification.

Freebies

In addition to private mentoring, I also offer a growing collection of free resources for music teachers. These include app recommendations, printable guides, and customizable activity organizers designed to support studio organization, lesson planning, and student engagement. These materials are created to be practical, flexible, and easy to integrate into a variety of teaching styles, and are available to download directly from my website.
