My name is Erin and I love music, I love to teach and I love to play. 

How did I build such an admiration for piano? Picture this... for every weekend trip to Costco, amidst the sea of swarming shoppers, you'd find a little seven year old girl in the middle aisle where you'd typically find the books, outdoor equipment and electronics, and that little seven year old was me.

Without fail, you'd find me standing on the two-to-three inch wooden platform that staged an electronic keyboard. This wasn't just a plain ol' keyboard, no, it was lit! Alright, maybe the term 'lit' wasn't coined back then, but let me explain. For every key that was pressed, a red backlight would shine, and for all the preset accompanying songs, keys would light up to guide a recognizable melody. Hearing a tune I knew and associating it with the keys I hit sparked my passion.

Call me 'lucky' as I was young when my parents enrolled me in my first piano lesson, after consistently finding me by said, lit keyboard. Progressing quickly with lessons, practice and determination, I became Royal Conservatory of Music (RCM) and Conservatory Canada (CC) qualified to teach piano and music theory to others. For more than fifteen years now, I've been teaching to students of all ages, starting as young as three, and can adjust my teaching methods to fit many different learning needs. 

With formal education in psychology and adult education, coupled with extensive professional experience working with young children, we can work together to establish learning goals and build an admiration for the piano, too.
