Erin Coffey: Piano and Music theory lessons from beginner to ARCT

Stratford Music Teachers — Fri, 15 Jul 2022 15:02:51 +0000

My studio is called ConBrio Music which means ‘with spirit’. Music is a gift that we develop and share with others, one that feeds our spirit, challenges our coordination, builds our brains, and creates life-long enjoyment. Music is important, especially through the pandemic, lessons have not been canceled, making music, enjoying music has not been canceled, and using music for stress relief is valuable. Music is a unique way to express ourselves and give voice to emotions that young students in particular may not be able to express in words.

My favourite part of teaching music is variety – from working with young beginners to coaching University students, every day is different.

I have been teaching piano and theory since 1995 and have submitted more than 800 students for RCM Exams! I particularly enjoy teaching the Advanced Theory Levels and it is a privilege to work with the students of many accomplished colleagues. I am an active member of ORMTA (the Ontario Registered Music teacher’s association), have an Honour’s Bachelor of Arts Degree and Certificates in Piano Pedagogy (art of teaching) from RCM. As a teacher I value life-long learning and continue looking for new ways to improve my knowledge and teaching.

Piano students are encouraged to play a variety of musical styles. My training is primarily classical, but since the mid-1990s I have enjoyed learning to chord and improvise for worship at church. I follow the RCM (Royal Conservatory of Music https://www.rcmusic.com/) curriculum for the core of what I teach, and welcome students to bring any other music they want to play! Duets, trios, and quartets (2 pianos, 8 hands) are great fun to learn and perform with others.

Dana McGregor: Teaching Piano, Theory and Composition for 22 Years

Stratford Music Teachers — Sat, 17 Aug 2019 15:53:25 +0000

Grade 9 practical piano from the Royal Conservatory of Music (RCM), grade 8 theory and harmony from RCM, and Music History courses at Laurier University.
Recitals, festivals and exams.
Levels: beginner thru grade 8.
Lessons are customized to the student as everyone is unique in their talents.
Teaching piano, theory and composition for 22 years.

Piano lessons started out as a fun hobby as I went to Laurier University for my Bachelor of Science in biology and physical geography and continued with Mohawk and the Michener Institute for Medical Laboratory Technician. I do work full time as a Laboratory Manager, and I also work part time as a fitness instructor. I volunteer for the YMCA and the Tavistock fair, and have volunteered for Trinity church in the past.

I have run many Church Christmas and Easter concerts, and the Tavistock Talent shows. I taught the music for young children program for many years but unfortunately due to time restraints decided to focus on private lessons.

I really enjoy the private lessons, and getting to know my students one on one. We go on a musical journey together, and I love the places we go. Some journeys are for personal satisfaction, some have been for exams, and others have had the honour of receiving festival trophies for all their hard practice. Everyone’s musical journey is different and I enjoy them all.

Live, love and share your Musical Moments.
