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!
