RCM Smart Start Certified
I am a neurobiologist and piano teacher with over 25 years of piano experience and have been actively teaching in Canada since 2019. With a strong academic background in science and certification as a Smart Start teacher, I create a learning environment that adapts to each student’s personality, interests, and age. My teaching philosophy is to ensure that every student enjoys their lessons while developing strong musical skills. I currently teach students ranging from age 5 to 30 and offer lessons in both English and Persian. Whether students are preparing for RCM exams, building foundational skills, or playing for personal enjoyment, I tailor my approach to meet their individual goals. Lessons are available in-studio in Calgary’s downtown Beltline area, as well as in-home in Lions Park, Capitol Hill, West Hillhurst, and nearby neighborhoods. For students who cannot travel or live outside of Calgary, I offer high-quality online lessons using two camera angles and a professional microphone setup for clear sound and visuals. As a member of the Alberta Piano Teachers Association (APTA), I stay informed about provincial, national, and international festivals and competitions. I actively encourage and support students who are interested in participating in these enriching musical experiences. I am currently accepting new students.
