Irene - Your piano teacher

With an RCM certification in Piano, Vocal, and Music theory, my name is Irene Piorischin, a piano tutor specializing in various piano styles like classical and pop. With over 2 years of teaching experience I’ve honed my expertise in Ear training, Chord Theory, and Sight reading, and Technical skills. I excel in teaching Piano Repertoire, Technical requirements, and Music Theory to beginners who want to start playing. My approach emphasizes Finger Placement, training Rythm, and Sight Reading, ensuring a comprehensive learning experience. I’m also a singing tutor. I teach proper breath technique, and exersizes to expand resonance in order to increase the potential in every singer. For each student, I create a different warm up routine. I tailor lessons to individual needs, fostering a deep connection with music. Let's embark on a musical journey together!

Piano lessons at a glance

In my role as a piano tutor specializing in teaching kids, adults, and beginners, I focus on a technique-driven, expressive, and creative teaching style. By integrating music theory, technical exersizes, sight reading, ear training, performance coaching, and personalized artist development, I ensure an engaging and practical learning experience. I leverage tech tools like online sheet music, metronome apps, and virtual piano apps to create an interactive online learning environment. With a curriculum tailored to individual student needs, I guarantee a customized approach that nurtures technique, musical expression, and creativity. Working with small groups of less than 10 students, and one on one lessons, allows me to provide personalized attention and track progress effectively, ensuring a well-rounded piano education.
