nina jogia

With over 15 years of teaching experience, Nina's passion is watching students grow and learn about music in a way that will instill a lifelong love of playing. Raised in a home where so many different styles of genres of music were played, (everything from Beethoven to Bollywood to the Blues and The Beatles), she has a very eclectic playlist and continues to build on it through her students! With a focus on beginner levels, she encourages students to learn the foundations of music while also encouraging personal creativity. She has worked for several music schools in the London area teaching piano lessons, Guitar Lessons and Flute Lessons. She studied flute with Fiona Wilkinson and Annelie Metrakos while completing her Bachelor of Music from The University of Western Ontario. One of her fondest memories was learning classical guitar with Paul Kramer at The Tamarack School of Music. She holds certificates for Grade 6 Piano and Grade 1 Rudiments from the Royal Conservatory of Music. As a member and co-facilitator of the group Belong to Song (a weekly program under the direction of The London Arts Council) she also had an opportunity to teach participants of guitar and saw how music can heal the heart, the soul and a community.

She continued her studies as a piano player for 2 years after that and that was the beginning of her musical journey which has brought her here. When she was 18 years old, she decided to pursue her academic degree as a music composer at Tehran University of Art.

To pursue her goal, as a music educator, she has attended several workshops to earn the experience and knowledge to be able to work with different types of children and adults. She recently moved to London, ON to pursue her Masters Degree in Music Education at the University of Western Ontario. While studying, she is excited to teach piano lessons at School of Music Arts.

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 $24.00 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.
