[/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle admin_label=”Toggle” title=”How often and how long are the lessons? ” open=”off”]

  • once a week
  • private lessons range from 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the musical goals and RCM level of each student

 

[/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle admin_label=”Toggle” open=”off” title=”Is it a good idea to own a piano or keyboard before I start taking lesson? “]

  • Yes it is integral to the daily practice
  • Playing on a traditional acoustic piano is ideal, although many opt to start out with the more affordable keyboard – which will suffice for the first few years of lessons as long as touch sensitive to allow for dynamic expression and better yet if it also has weighted keys 
  • The student will eventually need to switch to a piano as the traditional instrument is better suited for developing proper hand and finger strength control that is required for piano technique

 

[/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle admin_label=”Toggle” open=”off” title=”How old do you have to be to start piano lessons? “]

  • age 5 and up is recommended for private piano lessons, though it may be a different situation for each child, depending on their interest level, attention span and ability to communicate
  • an assessment can be made during our complimentary trial session
 

[/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle admin_label=”Toggle” title=”Does encore piano studio offer classes for adults” open=”off”]

 

  • it’s never too late to learn to play an instrument
  • students of any age (whether seeking a recreational approach or traditional curriculum) iare welcome
  • studying music later in life can reduce stress, anxiety, and blood pressure
  • it can also improve memory, mental processing, concentration and critical thinking

 

[/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle admin_label=”Toggle” title=”Can you prepare students for Royal Conservatory Examinations?” open=”off”]

  • yes, we actually specialize in this area and prepare many students each term for nationally accredited examinations (both piano and theory) with the Royal Conservatory of Music, for those who choose to follow the RCM curriculum
  • we also prepare students for annual music festivals and competitions, which is a great opportunity for students to gain valuable performance experience

[/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle admin_label=”Toggle” title=”Do you teach students who just want to take music lessons for fun?” open=”off”]

  • most definitely, we have customized programs for those that wish to explore non-traditional piano music at their own pace – ie. jazz/pop/world music genres, improvisation, arrangement and composition

What Our Students Are Saying

Don’t just take it from us, let our students do the talking!

Both of our children, Arek (age 9) and Talar (age 11) enjoy their piano lessons with Bonnie. She is very helpful, kind and patient. She finds ways to explain concepts in kid-friendly ways, while encouraging them to pay attention to details and do their best.

We’d recommend Encore Piano Studios to anyone!

 

[/et_pb_testimonial][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_testimonial admin_label=”Testimonial” author=”Jaclyn Wang” company_name=”Richmond Hill” url_new_window=”off” quote_icon=”on” use_background_color=”on” background_color=”#ffffff” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left”]

My daughter Sophia (age 12) has been studying piano with Bonnie for 8 years, and my younger one Serena (age 7) started a few years ago. Sophia has, under Bonnie’s guidance, participated in music competitions, among which she has won several awards, and she has just taken her Gr. 8 RCM piano examinations this past June.  

Encore Piano Studios sets high standards for students, from notes, to body and hand gestures, to each musical detail, but everything is presented in a friendly way, so it’s easy for students to learn. At the same time, Bonnie herself is an excellent pianist seen in her demonstrations, where my kids watch in admiration. I hope my kids can play as well as her one day! There is always beautiful piano music in my home, and it’s thanks to my girls’ great piano teacher Bonnie, who we appreciate so very much!

Bonnie has been teaching my 11 year-old daughter Briana for the past 4 years. She makes piano fun and interesting by allowing them choose their own contemporary pieces.

Each year, Encore Piano Studios hosts a recital for students, where a variety of genres are played.

I would highly recommend Bonnie as a piano teacher!
