Simone A. — Piano Teacher — Hochelaga-Maisonneuve, Montreal

Here is a brief overview of my background: I earned a Diploma of College Studies (DEC) in jazz piano from Cégep de Sherbrooke in 2018, followed by a bachelor's degree through a combination of programs in music and psychology in 2022. I then completed a graduate diploma in music therapy at Concordia University in the summer of 2023. I have had the pleasure of teaching piano for over 12 years, both privately and in music schools. As a music therapist (MTA, MT-BC) currently pursuing a master’s degree in mental health, I like to adopt a gentle, open-minded, and compassionate approach, while making sure to understand my students' learning goals to better adapt to their needs. I look forward to meeting you soon! Simone

Hello dear students! My name is Simone and it is my pleasure to offer private lessons in popular, jazz, or classical piano. Within the framework of my lessons, I find it important to fully understand my students' learning goals in order to adapt to their needs.

Here are a few examples of areas we could work on together: -Learning the songs/pieces of your dreams -Learning to read sheet music -Learning to read and play chords -Improving your piano technique -Learning music theory -Understanding jazz harmony -Learning scales and arpeggios -Improving your musical ear I look forward to making music with you!
