Online Composition Lessons with Canada’s Finest Composition Teachers

I have worked with students of all ages and styles and would love to hear from you about learning music.

I will teach you how to play guitar and sound good in the first hour!

I am happy to teach Beginners, intermediate and advanced students of any age!

My approach is to challenge students to be their best and be themselves.

It's very important that the student enjoys or has a connection to the pieces they play.

In my lessons I try to create a warm and welcoming environment.

I also focus closely on technique and give detailed feedback for quick improvement.

I find it very important to encourage each student to reach their maximum potential, and will guide them through it every step of the way.

Without music life would be a mistake.

I try my best to be a gentle, inspiring and creative teacher who will help you achieve your musical goals and aspirations!

I like to set goals for my students, and help them reach those musical goals.

I have always found it easy to build a conversation with anyone from any age group, walk of life, etc. about what music they like, why they like it, how they could play with that kind of music themselves.

My approach is flexible, and I enjoy working with students to help reach their goals.

I believe that every student can succeed with the right amount of patience, work, and support.

The development of a musical self is something complex and unique to each person.

I have been teaching music for 16 years, and I absolutely love seeing people come alive.

If a teacher doesn't have passion for teaching, then their student will not have a passion for learning.

I am passionate about helping students see the big picture of what it means both to learn and to enjoy music!

I believe that the individual student should be cultivated strategically according to their temperament, interests and transferable skills and understandings.

My goal as a teacher is to create a safe space where the student can feel comfortable failing and making mistakes.

Even if it is just 70's tv show themes, I can find a way to relate their current knowledge with the lesson of the day.

We can work step by step together to learn how music theory is applied in the music you already know.

I want to make sure that all my students progress the way they want to with the most important element, having fun!

With 20 years experience in music and 10 years of teaching, I have seen an array of students that I can, and have, helped effectively.

Music is a language that everyone understands.

Having fun and learning at the same time are important to me.

Music is not only great for the soul but is also one of the greatest activities to boost your brain function.

My teaching is centered towards each students finding their own personal voice and way of expression.

I aim to help people arrive at these experiences and benefits in a way that is fun, relaxed, and effective.

My way of teaching is always trying to make a balance in between what the student wants to learn and what the student NEEDS to learn

Once you learn an instrument, you’ve created a whole new way to express yourself.

For students of all ages my approach to practice and feedback is grounded in positivity and patience.

Music is beneficial for the brain and works as a great balance to other activities, but most importantly.. it only gets more and more fun!

I believe everyone should have the opportunity to play the music that they love.

My goal as a teacher is to strike a balance between work and play.

I have a very patient, encouraging, flexible, and determined style of teaching.

Above all, I want my students to have fun! – music is a joyful endeavor, and it would be a pleasure for me to guide students through it.

My students always learn music specific to their taste.

I very much enjoy teaching and sharing my passion for music.

I am keen to work with a variety of people at all stages in their musical experience.

I teach my students to be open-minded and versatile musicians, and several of my former students have gone on to become professional musicians and music educators.

My strength lies in music theory, music history and musicianship skills as well as composition.

Music is a lasting gift you can give yourself or your child.

I like to draw on my diverse background to more deeply inform and inspire my students.

My teaching phylosophy is to transmit music's passion to the students by teaching the music they wish to learn

Whether you're 5 or 105, as long as the passion is there, I guarantee results!

I am extremely comfortable with all aspects of the RMC music syllabus, including performance (piano, oboe, saxophone) as well as theory and music history.

Whether child or adult, a student is most engaged and benefits most from lessons when they are enjoying themselves, engaged and enthusiastic.

When we play music we interact with each other in a co-operative way.

My teaching philosophy is based around helping students reach their musical goals.

I believe that through studying music, students can develop a work ethic, passion and creativity that will help in all future endeavours.

My goal as a teacher is to help students become self-sufficient musicians capable of learning anything they put their mind to.

I believe in teaching musicianship, critical thinking and listening skills, vivid, imaginative interpretation, and unveiling a student's potential for emotional expression, rather than simply teaching how to play pieces.

I base my teaching on a number of ideas and methods

My greatest delight is when a student excels in his/her own capabilities and has demonstrated a keen interest in a particular kind of music they can call their own.

You've heard the phrase, "when you slow down, you see more of the road". I believe, by slowing down the learning process, the finer details become more clear.

I believe that any music someone likes has merit and that a student can learn through music they love.

I love teaching music because of the joy it brings me.

My job as an educator is to share my love of music and knowledge.

I see teaching as an opportunity to inspire creativity.

Ma philosophie d'enseignement se base sur la mise en valeur des forces et des désirs de l'élève.

Music for me is a joy to teach, and therefore I believe it should be a joy to learn.

Good teaching starts with knowing what each student needs.

My approach is eclectic and open to all genres of music; and my method is designed individually for each student, based on what they want to achieve.

I understand how finding your own voice, and your own way of delivering the music is just as important as technique.

A teachers job is not necessarily to give you the answers, but sometimes to encourage you to think and dig for the answer yourself..

I strongly believe that proper musical training is essential not only to those aspiring to become professional musicians but to "every" single human being.

I will open the door to musical discovery showing my students a world of music undiscovered!
