Lauren Kelly

🎵 Ever wish you’d truly loved your piano lessons as a child? Or are you ready to give YOUR child a joyful, inspiring musical journey?

Hi! My name is Lauren Kelly, and I am passionate about creating lessons that students look forward to each week. In my studio, piano is not just about exams or practice; it’s about building a lifelong connection to music. Yes, my students work hard, but laughter, discovery, and joy are woven into every lesson.

Whether you’re a preschool beginner, a dedicated intermediate student, or an advanced pianist preparing for university auditions or diplomas, I tailor each lesson to your unique needs and goals.

🎹 What sets my teaching apart?

✔ Lessons are tailored to each student’s learning style, strengths, and interests
✔ Emphasis on technique that promotes agility, confidence, and injury prevention
✔ Weekly guidance with clear practice strategies so you always know what to work on
✔ Fun and supportive environment where humour and passion fuel progress
✔ Regular performance opportunities: recitals, festivals, competitions, masterclasses
✔ Strong focus on reading music, musical expression, and independent interpretation
✔ Students consistently earn top honours in festivals and RCM exams, with many placing in the top 1% in Canada

📍 Location: My private studio is in Kitsilano, Vancouver. Students commute from across the Lower Mainland (including Coquitlam, Langley, White Rock, and even as far as Lynden, WA!).
