Welcome to in-person, online and hybrid learning!

Klaudia’s Music Studio has adjusted to the newest protocols and spaced out organization of all in-person lessons, making sure safety is priority for all. We take sanitation breaks between each private music class. 

We now offer in-person lessons on all instruments and resume Pre-School Group Music Class Junior Music, as well as Chamber Music Groups and continue offering online lessons as an alternative to in-person lesson in event of sickness or preference, which is convenient for customers and keeps weekly lessons intact.

Online and Hybrid Model: Studio offers year-round online theory lessons and instrumental weekly online-only virtual lessons, too. Students participate in recitals, year-end concerts and master workshops.

If you happen to be the one switching to face-to-face lessons, we ask you to follow our guidelines and appreciate your efforts in making sure things run smoothly. The Studio implemented these rules for reopening: 

1. ENTRANCE: There is one dedicated entrance at the location of your lesson. You are not allowed to enter through any other entrance. 
2. LOCKED DOORS: Doors will be locked so no unauthorized person enters our premises. Teacher will come get the student and drop of the student at these doors at the end of class. 
3. STUDENTS ONLY: We prefer if parents stayed outside the church during their child’s lesson.
4. BE ON TIME: Drop off and pick up right on time, wait in the parking area. Teacher cannot wait at the pick up time, because we need to clean rooms before next student arrives. 
5. MASKS: Masks are optional, still highly recommended. 
6. COVID SCREENING FORM: located on top of the website, not required at the moment 
7. HOUSEHOLD: Please do not come to class if any of your household members are not well. We have Zoom at the studio and students can login from home if needed. Contact us if you need your teacher’s Zoom info.
8. SOCIAL DISTANCE: Keep 2 meters apart whenever possible.

We rent instruments by appointment. We tune instruments by appointment. 

At Klaudia’s Music Studio we provide piano accompaniment for strings for the exams and festivals. We normally teach in private setting as one-on-one lesson, or occasional group setting. Group lessons vary from year to year, ask about our piano, violin or theory group class if you are interested. 

Playing a musical instrument has been proven to be good for brain development, lengthen the attention span, help become a better listener, and also develop stronger coordination and focus skills. Together we can rekindle music in our students’ hearts and pass it on to the next generation.

We will be happy to accept students as young as 3.5 years old, preferably 5 and up, as well as older students, advanced or adult students for private music lessons.

In instrumental lessons, we combine melody and musicality. It is essential that quality tutoring begins with proper posture. This aspect is so crucial, for playing on any instrument regardless of the method employed. Great results are directly linked to a proper line-up/instrument holding/positioning. If we do not emphasize this technical aspect of learning enough, it often leads to deeper problems later, resulting in a stagnation of musical development. Correction in posture is not always successful when caught late in the teaching cycle. And then there is a countless range of dynamics, expressions, moods, periods, styles, techniques, and so on. Musicality is the most important aspect of learning music, as there is much more to it than just playing the notes. Music cannot be imposed, cannot be forced on to – it needs to come from one’s heart. All too often we see “automated playing” which we at Klaudia’s Music Studio try to cultivate with variety of expressions in range of dynamics, speed and intensity.

In theory lessons, we complete student’s musical education. Reading music is an essential part of the study right from the beginning, even to very young. Once the concept is grasped it gives students confidence to be independent in playing and elevates the learning curve. Theory lessons comprise of many elements described in detail on Theory Lessons Page.

If music is something you consider a priority, the tutoring will consist of all the aspects of the Royal Conservatory of Music Syllabus and its respective examinations. We prepare students for practical examination from Preparatory Level to Level 10 and beyond, along with theory at level 5 and on.

If you want to explore the music for fun, starting as a child, or picking it up later in life: we have just the right tools for you. The goal is to accomplish and sustain progress at all times. This is accomplished with proper aimed and enriched tutoring, including all aspects of music: ear training, rhythm, note reading, improvisation, proper holding, or positioning while playing the instrument and all-over musicality.
