I am an Oakville-based piano teacher and accept pianists of all ages. In my studio I teach on a beautifully restored 1928 Steinway, and am equally comfortable teaching in-person and online. In 1994 I received a Doctor of Musical Arts degree from the Eastman School of Music. Since then I’ve taught at the University of British Columbia and the Vancouver Academy of Music. I’m presently on the faculty of The Royal Conservatory, where I also serve as a senior examiner.
