Since I was 6 years old, I remember dreading the piano teacher’s presence… The stern looks, the forceful and linear way of teaching, and the endless hours of practice that was required - with music that I didn’t even like or understand. Today, with over 20 years of RCM teaching experience and a Bachelor of Jazz Music, I’ve learned from some of the best in the business and also from some of the worst… As I began to teach my own students, I realized that most of them didn’t enjoy learning the way I was taught either. So, it made me think - what if this traditional way of teaching isn’t the only way? What if we consider the possibility that every student is unique in their natural strengths and abilities and teach them the way they learn best? This is exactly where my approach differs from most traditional teaching styles. If a student is really into jazz music, why not start with a jazzy piece that he or she already knows and loves? If another student is really into Bruno Mars, I figure, that would be the best place to begin in order to encourage him or her and bring out the enthusiasm. Does that mean we’ll never touch the classical stuff? Of course not! I take classical music very seriously (and so does the RCM) but I realize it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. So doesn’t it make sense for a teacher to meet the student where he/she is instead of expecting the reverse? I have gotten a lot more cooperation and optimism when I’ve met the student where they were, instead of expecting the reverse. I begin by taking the time to get to know each student’s personal learning style and customizing a program that is right for them. We ease into the program at the student’s own personal pace and achieve any goals they may have (and I may have for them), related to piano. It becomes fun! The one thing I cannot take away is the practice time - the students still need to practice but with a personal approach, it becomes much more enjoyable! The students will learn the notes, scales, read music, and a variety of pieces from different genres. Of course, I prepare my students for RCM exams and enjoy teaching how to improvise on the piano. I have a deep passion for music. I have finished piano levels 1-10 of The Royal Conservatory of Music. I’ve played in several different bands, where I practiced playing a large variety of musical genres - pop, rock, jazz, blues, even Indian Bollywood music. Different styles of music began to intrigue me, so during my last year of high school, I started to focus on jazz. in 2008, I graduated with a Bachelor of Jazz Music from Humber College, a prestigious jazz music school in Toronto. As a part of my program at Humber, I feel fortunate to have received some unique experiences, including scoring animated films and recording a demo album in a professional musical studio. Over the years, I have grown as a solo piano player, but have also learned the value of listening to other musicians while playing together. This is a vital skill that is often overlooked, which I make a point to teach my students. Whether you’re checking out this page because you’ve got a 3-year-old whom you’d like to begin learning piano or you’re 89, who never got the chance to start, IT IS NEVER TOO LATE! Please feel free to message me with any questions. I look forward to meeting you and helping make your piano dreams a reality!
I personally have a passion on the human behaviour. Therefore, teaching helps me understand more about human behaviour on how each student has its own way of learning. It fascinates me how every individual is different and needs a different approach to learning due to their complexity. When I do end up finding the correct way of teaching a certain student, it gives me immense pleasure watching them blossom.
After teaching for so long and working for so many people, it's time for me to step up and becomes my own boss now.

I really haven't done anything with Jesse as of yet but I'm told he is very good.

We connected with Nicholas when looking for some live music performance for our annual corporate event. During the planning stage and all the way until after the event day, Nicholas was extremely nice, responsive and professional! On the day of, both Nicholas and his companion, violinist, arrived on time and delivered an amazing performance! We've heard so many compliments from the guests during and after the event! We know they both have been rehearsing a lot, as we had some special music choices. They nailed it! We will definitely contact Nicholas again in the future and recommend him to anyone interested! Pure talent!

I started learning guitar at the academy a year ago, the experience has been great - my guitar skill has been steadily improving, the price is fair, the schedule is flexible. My guitar teacher is also a very knowledgeable person. I am glad that I have found this place and will continue to learn from here!
