RCM CERTIFIED

jordan birk

RCM Certified
I have owned and taught in my home studio for over 3 decades. I have extensive experience teaching students of all ages. pre-school ages 3-6 as well as seniors and adult students. My studio is welcoming and relaxed. I specialize in RCM examinations, recognition for students in high school accreditation, and participation in festivals . I also emphasize that skill and enjoyment goals are equally valid learning outcomes in my studio. My teaching is based on Classical RCM Training as well as beginner to advanced teaching certification with the RCM. I focus on individual learning and one on one weekly lessons. As the pandemic progressed, I opened an online studio and have kept this option open to students should they prefer online lessons or a mix of online and in person lessons. I have recently relocated in Port Coquitlam am open to accepting new students this term. Please feel free to contact me with your questions and a free meet-up and placement lesson. I look forward to meeting with you.
