Lesia Viveiros

RCM Certified
Certified Online Teacher
With over 20 years of dedicated teaching experience, I specialize in guiding students through the celebrated Royal Conservatory of Music (RCM) curriculum, helping them build a strong and lasting foundation in music.

My approach is rooted in a deep understanding of the RCM system, supported by my own advanced certifications in Level 8 Piano, Level 8 Theory, Level 10 Harmony, and Level 10 History. As an RCM Certified Online Teacher, I am equipped to provide high-quality, engaging instruction in both in-person and online settings.

The greatest measure of my success is the success of my students. I am incredibly proud that my students consistently earn marks of First Class Honors and First Class Honors with Distinction on their RCM examinations, a testament to their hard work and our shared commitment to excellence.
