About Lucy

I began my piano studies at the age of five, and I have always really enjoyed playing the piano, but I would say that I really started developing a passion for music when I was practicing for my ARCT exam (the performance level of RCM) and learned some challenging pieces by Frédéric Chopin and Franz Liszt - two of my favorite composers today!

About the lesson

Whether you are an advanced RCM learner or you are looking to take up a new instrument for fun, I am here to help you achieve your musical goals! I equip my students with a strong musical foundation that enables them to learn music that they are passionate about, and to help them develop a consistent, efficient practice routine that allows for constant musical progress and growth.

For beginner pianists, my go-to method book is Faber’s Piano Adventures. This book covers important basic concepts including sheet music reading skills, keyboard topography, and ear development that are paramount for student success. Beginner and young students are also given the opportunity to play many entertaining & educational musical games during their lessons to develop their creativity, knowledge, and passion for music. If my students leave their lesson feeling excited to go home and practice, then I have done my job!

Some great educational apps for beginner to intermediate learners:
- NoteRush
- Staff Wars
- Rhythm Trainer
- Earpeggio
- Music Crab
- Baby Piano

Late beginner to advanced students are given the option of going through the Royal Conservatory of Music (RCM), which has a mainly classical music-oriented curriculum and exam for each level of the program. In preparation for RCM exams, students develop their technique and finger dexterity at the piano, and develop a theoretical understanding of music, as well as the ability to express emotions and ideas through musical elements like dynamics, tempo, rubato, shaping, articulation, and phrasing.

For those wishing to study popular music genres, lessons will focus on chord formation, harmonization, lead sheets, choral music, and improvisation, all of which are important skills that give students the independence to be able to learn new songs on their own.

Whether your focus is classical or popular music, performing in public is highly encouraged. It is an integral component of student progress, as it can solidify their grasp of their current repertoire and help develop stage presence and confidence. Students are encouraged to perform in RCM exams, Kiwanis Festival, student recitals, and volunteer to play at senior home concerts.

Lastly, parental involvement in students’ musical journey is highly recommended; Parents play an important role in encouraging their children, helping them maintain a consistent practice schedule, and in celebrating their accomplishments and progress.

I look forward to meeting you all and embarking on a musical journey. Let’s find out what we can accomplish together!
