Must Love Music’s mission is to develop a lifelong love of music in each student.  I teach students of ages in the comfort of their own home with ONLINE lessons!  Each student has an individualized program based on his or her personal goals, needs, and preferred style(s) of music.

Basics of a Great Program

• Technique & Music Theory:  The basics which allow us to play music on the piano.  When we understand how music is written and how we use the different parts of the piano, we can not only play what is written on the page but create new music as well!
• Ear Training & Sight-Reading:  Facilitates the practice of the basics.  Ear training helps us hear the different parts of the music and sight-reading allows us to practice specific concepts in short pieces.
• Repertoire:  The masterpiece!  These are the pieces of music that combine the previous 4 program sections.  Students add their personal style and emotions to the piece to make it truly their own.
• Practice:  The 6 days between lessons is integral to mastering concepts learnt in class.  I will explain and demonstrate not just what the student is to practice, but how.  This ensures practice time is as effective and efficient as possible.

Online Lesson Advantages:

Why battle traffic or bad weather only to wait at the studio for your lesson?  Instead, have your lessons on an instrument and in an environment that is comfortable for you!

For children, have fun learning piano while getting off the bench with games, movement & other activities.

For parents, feel free to listen in & ask questions, or help the rest of your family get ready for other activities.

For adults, use the extra time you aren’t travelling to do whatever you wish.

Programs:

Personalized Private Lessons:

Not everyone learns the same, so why are so many programs the same for everyone?  You have your own interests &  goals.  These should be included in what you do in your lesson time.

Your Testimonial Archive currently has no entries. You can start creating them on your dashboard.

During your lesson, I will teach you in a manner that works best for YOU.  And, because my focus is only on you,  we can learn at your pace.  Quick for concept or skills that you find easy; slow down for the ones that are more difficult.

Group Lessons:

FIVE group classes will be scheduled online during the course of the year.  These will be held in lieu of regularly scheduled lessons for that week.  Group lessons provide opportunities for students to perform & attend master classes which are an important part of their musical development.

Student-Led Conferences:

Once a year, students take over the lesson and teach their parent(s) two concepts they have worked on in the previous months.  This ensures students take ownership of their learning while giving the parent(s) an opportunity to see and hear what their child has learnt.  Students plan the conference with guidance, but are responsible for defining, explaining step-by-step, and provided guided practice to their “student”.  As a parent, you can see how your child is progressing over the course of the year.
