Abigail - Your piano teacher
I am a dedicated and passionate piano tutor with over 10 years of experience playing the instrument and 5 years of music theory experience. I have over a year of experience teachings kids aged 7-13 basic piano techniques and songs as well as music theory. I offer assistance in improving ear training, scales and technique, and overall performance. My approach caters to beginners and kids eager to learn the instrument, and I tailor classes to the desired objectives of the student. Whether that be mastering certain skills or learning classical/modern pieces, I have all the necessary knowledge to help students get to where they want to be. No matter what level of piano or music knowledge, and no matter how much time students are able to dedicate to learning, I am committed to helping them reach a place they're proud of. I am eager to use my knowledge and passion for piano to help others develop that same love for music.
Abigail graduated from St. Brother Andre Catholic High School (currently attending University of Toronto)

My tutor approach depends heavily on the student, what they wish to learn, and how they best learn. Generally, I focus on learning the fundamentals necessary to later move on to learning pieces/songs. These fundamentals include basic music theory such as learning rhythm and tempo, ear training, and scales and arpeggios. After building these techniques, I start to incorporate a simple song that exercises these techniques. Classes still start warming up with these technique exercises, but students now have the opportunity to apply them to a real piece. I use a mix of metronome and MuseScore to familiarize students with the piece, taking them through sight-reading and coaching along the way. I teach them the correct fingering, tone, and dynamics of the piece, and how to best show these elements in their playing. My methodology lies in setting small goals that excite students to learn more and enhance their skills while fostering a love for music.

Piano concepts taught by Abigail
The Tutor and Student reviewed piano scales and introduced fundamental music theory concepts including intervals (major, minor, perfect thirds, fourths, and fifths) and chords (major and minor). They then practiced constructing and identifying these on the keyboard and in sheet music, concluding with an introduction to key signatures and the order of sharps.

Building Chords
Key Signature
The tutor introduced sheet music reading to the student, covering treble and bass clefs, note identification using mnemonics, and accidentals (sharps, flats, naturals). They practiced naming and playing notes, then introduced the D major scale and began applying reading skills to a simple melody, "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star."
