Remembering Our Beloved Mayor, Friend, and Supporter: Hazel McCallion
We cherish our family's and Clarkson Piano's decades-long friendship with our beloved mayor, Hazel McCallion. As newcomers to Canada, we have been honoured to offer our support to and participate in many incredible initiatives by Mayor McCallion. Boris' first performance at The City Hall goes back to 1994, a few months after arriving in Canada, for a fundraiser/charity dear to the Mayor's heart - Alzheimer's Society of Peel. Since then, we have enthusiastically participated in many events. From opening ceremonies of Alzheimer Society's Day Centers, numerous Mayor's Levees, Trillium Health Partners' Events, City Hall Events, Mayor's Birthday Celebrations, and many more...
Everything in our lives is connected to the piano. From our earliest childhood to today. The piano is what connected the two of us, too. 33 years ago.
The piano study was an important building block of the upbringing of our children, now adults with multiple Academic credentials that we are so proud of!
Boris and I feel very fortunate to have studied with fascinating, passionate educators and artists. In addition, this beautiful piano and music life journey has connected us with a long list of World-renowned artists and educators providing invaluable, just incredible additional input and inspiration.
We enjoy sharing it all with our amazing students, each with unique potential waiting to be discovered! Teaching is an enjoyable exchange, an opportunity for providing positive input and encouragement, helping students develop musical freedom, pride and appreciation for this gorgeous gift of music-making that we are fortunate to enjoy and share.
Our Studio setting and atmosphere reflect our love for what we do, and we wish to create an inspiring, motivating music-learning environment. Thank you for being a part of it all!
Much more is ahead - looking forward to continuing our piano-loving journey with you - Welcome to Clarkson Piano!

Welcome to Clarkson Piano Studio's Piano Buying Guide 1:
Buying a piano is fun and exciting event that a whole family can get involved in! Still, our parents and/or students often feel overwhelmed by so many options, brands, chat-rooms and opinions accessible via Internet. They often contact us feeling that there is nothing like the real-world, first-hand experience and live communication with someone in the field, and of ample experience. So,naturally, as teachers and performers we've been consulted numerous times by our students and their families as they were about to purchase their first family piano or upgrade their existing instrument. Our long-standing involvement in Music Industry and long-lasting contacts with piano servicing community, collaboration and association with jazz/pop/classical performers, as well as with piano suppliers and prominent manufacturers provided an inside look and knowledge on multitude of brands, features and options taking a mystery out of piano shopping! We are proud of our testimonials - many of them related to our assistance in acquiring the family piano!
A PIANO not only serves the art of music, piano is a work of art itself.
A wonderfully complex machine, it has thousands of moving parts, a sounding board and a framework supporting tremendous string tension, and beautifully finished cabinetry.
My advice: buy the best piano you can afford. Don't economize on a piano, especially for a child who's starting lessons. Making music on a quality instrument is one of the best ways to keep your young pianist interested. And, good piano will hold the best re-sale or trade-in value.
You've been looking forward to having a piano in your home and making music a part of your life. You're ready to buy a piano. How will you decide which instrument is best for you?
A piano is many things - an instrument, a fine piece of furniture, an object of sentimental value and a long-term investment that yields musical dividends.
Keep in mind that you'll be listening to and looking at your piano for a long time. The average lifetime of a good piano spans decades, and you will probably own it long after you've sold many of your present belongings, including the furniture, or a car.
