sam beilby

Sam Beilby has loved music from the day he first touched a fiddle at the age of 3. He drew inspiration from family who lived on the east coast, and from there pursued his love of jigs, reels, and other traditional fiddle music. He took over 8 years of private lessons from the acclaimed Canadian fiddler Shane Guse. With that base of music, he busked his way through his first year of college, played trumpet in the Breslau Community Band, and sang in the Grand Philharmonic Youth Choir. Over time, he also taught himself piano, bass guitar, saxophone, and many other instruments - piano forefront among these until he became almost as proficient on the keys as on the fiddle. When he's not making music, Sam spends his time building Lego and enjoying the great outdoors. Sam is a graduate of Fanshawe College's Music Industry Arts program, and is excited to share his love of creating music with other aspiring musicians. At School of Music Arts, Sam teaches piano lessons and Violin Lessons.

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 $26.00 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.
