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!

Piano Lessons: Introductory and Beginner Levels, All ages
We pay special attention to "HOW TO" and introduce our beginner students to this truly magical world of piano and music. Our approach is tactful, gentle, considerate and focuses on much more than just the notes, scales and pieces. Our goal is our students' life-long involvement, friendship with and enjoyment of music. While others promote facilities, numbers and flashy/marketable features, we wish to highlight our lifelong passion and our love for what we do, our desire to share with our students our excitement backed by over three decades of experience. And more: we live with music, raising our own kids with music - today they are award-winning University graduates, yet trained, Diploma pianists and teachers.
While current trends of the technology age have seriously entered our and our kids' lives, experts (and most importantly us, parents!) believe that there has never been a more important time for nurturing those time-tested values - beautifully developed thru the study of the piano; family, sharing, patience, cooperation to name the few.

Why Private Piano Lessons?
Simply put - For the very best results!
We have not opted for profitable group classes in deciding on our teaching format. Instead, we have chosen PRIVATE LESSONS. Only by taking the PRIVATE LESSONS will a student receive individual attention and a customized lesson plan tailored to the personal rate of progress.

Private Piano Lesson Program Popular/Leisure and RCM Program
Our private piano lessons are customized to our student's specific needs. There is no "one size fits all" approach at Clarkson Piano. The best thing about our private lesson teaching format is that we start by listening to your needs, followed by the customized program that fits best a particular student's needs and desires. Aside from The Royal Conservatory of Music Program, we are happy to provide lessons to children, teens and adults interested in more relaxed, leisure piano. However, even for that teaching approach, we use proven, well-known methods such as Bastien, Fletcher, Berlin, Alfred's, Faber & Faber and more.

We teach The Royal Conservatory of Music (RCM) Program - About The RCM Program:
"The Conservatory provided my teachers with a format that they followed to give me a solid grounding in classical music. From a base like this one can go anywhere."
Paul Schaffer, Music Director CBS Orchestra
The Royal Conservatory of Music curriculum is an easy-to-follow, comprehensive teaching program that incorporates all that is essential to transform a student beginner into a skilled musician and pianist. Behind the RCM curriculum is over a century of experience, generations of students and teams of the finest educators in constant search for the very best in the musical educational field. In simple terms, the Canadian Royal Conservatory of Music program is a true hallmark of quality music education, thought coast-to-coast and recognized internationally. RCM is the only program that offers high-school credits, tax and RESP benefits. Most of all, we are convinced that the RCM program is a well-structured, comprehensive teaching program that successfully balances the values of traditional music instruction with the expanded needs of 21st-century students.

I invite you to participate in preparing and completing piano and theory examinations with The Royal Conservatory of Music Examinations. Students who use the curriculum of The Royal Conservatory of Music are following a well-balanced course of study that blends the century-long tradition with Innovation and is internationally recognized.
The self-discipline developed by setting and working towards the goal of an examination will be valuable in all other aspects of a student's life.
The positive and constructive feedback received after each examination is designed to contribute to students' sense of accomplishment and to help set future goals. As your local RCM Examination preparation centre, I look forward to making the examination experience positive for students, parents and us - teachers! If you have any questions about RCM Examinations and the examination system, don't hesitate to contact me or call us at 416.837.7381 - Welcome!

Music is forever! It's never too late. Decide on the style of music and your rate of progress: Doing it just for fun and love of it, or should you wish to study the RCM Program and prepare for RCM exams (NO age limit!) - we are here and ready for you!
A piano can be enjoyed throughout life: adults and seniors who play the piano or participate in piano study benefit significantly from music's soothing, stress-relief effect and experience far less loneliness and depression... The international medical community suggests a strong link between a healthier life and participation in a piano - from lower blood pressure, better memory skills, and an active social life ...to a better quality of life!
The scientific and medical communities recognize and promote the beneficial effects of piano study and participation in music that, remarkably, help even those challenging conditions such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases and dementia.
