Piano with Lara

Piano with Lara Piano lessons, music theory, and early childhood music from my studio in Hamilton's Stipley neighbou Hi! My name is Lara.

I started piano lessons at the age of 3, and began teaching in my mom's home studio when I was 16. I have completed my Level 10 in Piano (Royal Conservatory of Music or RCM), as well as my Elementary Piano Pedagogy Certificate (also RCM) and the Suzuki Early Childhood Education Stages 1 and 2. I grew up in a family of music teachers and because of that I never planned to teach music myself! I earned a masters in French literature and trained as a birth doula before I realized that teaching piano was actually my dream job. I consider myself lucky to be able to choose a career where I get to continually develop and practice new skills, as well as connect with children and families and bring what I love into their lives. My number one goal is to create connection. To connect with the student, first, so I know how best to teach them; to connect with the family, so that we can work together as a team; to connect the student to the music, so that they can discover more music that they love and find success and fulfillment in what they do. I am here to help my students love and understand music. Check my website for more info, including fees and my calendar for the year! Note: As of August, 2021, all lessons are conducted online over Zoom. I review this situation regularly based on the COVID numbers in my area.

Gaza's grand piano "an image of hope" is all well and good but by the end of the article you find out that an unknown party (they who cannot be named) have broken its hammers and snapped its strings. Is music a refuge? No: it is available to be an instrument of violence, just like everything else. But maybe the teachers of music, as in the second image, can be that
