About Me
Hello,I'm a Canadian pianist, currently a doctoral candidate at l'Université de Montréal and simultaneously pursuing a second Masters degree at La Haute École de Musique de Genève.
I really enjoy sharing what I do with others – helping them overcoming obstacles in playing the piano and improving their pianistic skills is always a pleasure for me. I'm very patient and enthusiastic in my teaching; having been a student my whole life (and I hope to continue learning in this way!), I know how wonderful it can be when you meet someone who is open to helping you through your personal challenges based on your individual background so I really aim for that type of teaching. I'm there to help in any way I can.
As a bonus, my doctoral research pertains to the neuropsychology of learning and the most efficient way to develop a skill – my goal is to help you develop the skills necessary to become an independent learner. I have a lot of tricks from my research and own experiences which I'd be more than glad to share!
Very happy to help you work towards whatever goals you may have, whether it be starting to play the piano or preparing for competitions or exams.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
Looking forward to hearing from you! :)
PS: I'm also available as an accompanist.

Had my first piano lesson with Cindy and it was great! Easy to understand and very clear explanations! She prepared great material for the class! :)
Excellent first lesson. Our girls really liked Cindy and enjoyed their lessons. Well done!
Cindy is an excellent piano teacher. The fact that my son (11) is fully engaged and practices without any prompting is a testament to Cindy's professional but relaxed and fun approach to teaching. I would recommend Cindy without reservation!
Cindy is a professional and nice teacher and my daughter liked her a lot.
