During her undergraduate degree she undertook an exchange program at the University of Ottawa.

Rachel has been playing the piano for 13 years, the flute for 12 years, and the clarinet for 8 years, along with other instruments. She often plays woodwinds in pit bands for musical theatre, as she enjoys the challenge of playing up to four different instruments in one show. She is honoured to have the opportunity to share her musical experience with the next generation of musicians at SMArts. Rachel teaches Recorder Lessons, Flute Lessons, Clarinet Lessons, Saxophone Lessons and piano lessons.

At age 7, she started playing fiddle music and eventually became well-versed in the fiddle community in Canada. She has participated in Fiddle Nationals for the past 4 years, including a finals appearance in 2018. In high school, she played trumpet in the school band, allowing her to explore jazz music as well. In grade 11 and 12, she was awarded 'Most Outstanding Musician' for her contribution to both band and jazz band. Throughout the years, she has entered countless cello, piano and violin festivals. Through private instruction, Lia has studied violin for over 15 years and piano and cello for over 10 years. She has been teaching Violin Lessons, piano lessons and Cello Lessons for over 3 years. Lia is currently in her second year at Western University studying violin performance, and upon completion, she hopes to pursue a Master's degree in violin performance.

Since moving from Windsor to London, she has joined London Pro Musica choir as an alto, and volunteers as their social media manager. Rachel is passionate about teaching Voice Lessons and piano lessons in all genres to all ages. Her attention to detail helps students prepare for RCM exams, auditions and performances and her enthusiasm helps to foster a lifelong love of music.

anurandi norbert

With a Master of Music Education from Western University, and over six years of professional teaching experience, Anurandi has had great joy in educating students of all ages in music theory and piano performance. In addition, Anurandi has accumulated a diverse range of skills as a collaborative pianist performing alongside solo musicians, vocal jazz ensembles, and ballet dancers. As a music teacher, Anurandi takes great pride in helping students create personalized lesson plans that allow for student autonomy. Anurandi believes that a music teacher's role is to help students to be able to think critically and design their own musical journey. Outside of teaching piano lessons, Anurandi is working on a developing a beginner piano series geared toward teaching students how to play jazz music.

Michal Wiraszka

Michal has been teaching piano lessons and music theory to students of all ages and abilities for the past 8 years. He began learning piano at the age of 7 and worked his way up to RCM's Grade 9 Piano Performance (First Class Honours with Distinction) under the guidance of Liya Vayner. In 2012, Michal moved to London, UK, where he completed his BSc in Audio Production (I-Class Honours) at SAE Institute London. There, he was also fortunate to study orchestration, counterpoint, and composition techniques with British composer David Lewiston Sharpe. In 2018, Michal was commissioned by London, ON's Amabile Choirs for several original compositions, and wrote his first video game soundtrack for 56 Game Studios' 'System Siege'. Since leaving Canada in 2012, Michal has continued teaching while living in the UK, Poland, and China, before eventually relocating back to Canada in early 2019. In addition to his classical music endeavours, Michal has played in a variety of bands over the years, and is well versed in the genres of pop, rock, and folk. Whether his students are working through RCM's exams or learning just for fun, Michal believes one of the most important attributes in a successful teacher is to cater to each individual's specific needs. He genuinely loves teaching, and is only satisfied when his students go home happy that they've learned something new.

What Are Your Rates?

We've learned that every music teacher is different, and each has different skills. Some have Masters degrees, while others are still students themselves. For this reason, we've given the teachers the ability to set their own rates when they are hired based on their skills. The rate for piano lessons start at $23.00 for a 30 minute lesson.

Is 30 Minutes Enough?

For beginners the answer is definitely yes. When you are first learning, you're getting a lot of new, and in some cases, confusing information given to you. The amount of information given in one 30 minute lesson will give you a lot to work on as you practice throughout the week. Practicing is absolutely essential to learning music. As you get to more advanced skills, more time may be necessary if and when your teacher recommends it.

How Long Will It Take To Learn?

We get asked this question a lot. There is no specific date, or number of lessons. It depends on a few things including how often students practice. Although the songs may be very simple, we know we can have students playing at least one short song within 30 days. If you are hoping to play Mozart, it will take more time. But anyone can do it if they want it enough or work hard enough.

What Else Do I Need To Play?

There are additional supplies that may be needed throughout the course of your study, such as metronomes or piano benches. Also, as you progress, you will need new, more advanced method books so that you can continue to learn new songs and new techniques. We stock the basics to make sure every student has what they need to play, but other items can be specially ordered for you if needed or desired. Also, for acoustic pianos, piano tuning and repairs are also available. For more information on product availability, and piano repair scheduling and pricing, please ask our administrative staff.
