Jane’s Style of Teaching

Customized & Fun!

Jane’s style of teaching is to customize each class to each student’s learning style. New concepts are delivered in the easiest and most efficient manner to each student, while keeping the lesson fun!

Learn On your Own Intrument

Students learn with on their own instrument in their environment. They produce a better sound and gain greater confidence in their own environment and piano.

Conservatory and Non-Conservatory Methods are Taught.

Jane prepares those wishing to take piano and written theory exams (theory, harmony, history). Weekly lessons are recommended to ensure continued progress.

Workshops and Recitals

Jane offers online monthly performance workshops and bi-annual live online student recitals. She also prepare students for the prestigious First Class Honours Recitals and many local concerts and festivals.

How It Works

Online lessons are available for:
  • All levels :  Beginner to Grade 10 piano 

  • All ages:  4 years to 94 years and 

  • All theory courses

Online lessons are more effective than in-studio lessons.

  • Jane’s style of teaching is the same in-studio or online.

  • Jane applies her in-studio teaching style to online teaching.

  • She teaches through verbal direction and demonstration via numerous webcams.

  • The students can view exactly what is being demonstrated as if Jane is sitting next to them.

  • Jane sees more such as hand position, fingering and posture with online lessons. She is able to provide extensive feedback for each student.

  • In addition, Jane optimizes the sound of each student’s playing on their instrument.

  • Weekly class lengths are 30, 45 or 60 minutes. The level of learning and goals determines the length of class time that is required. Musical styles taught are  Classical, 20th Century, Pop & Rock, Jazz and Sacred.

  • Weekly typed homework notes are provided after each lesson.

  • Exams are remote so the student plays on their own instrument in the comfort of their own home.

Online Requirements

  • Good internet connection with at least 4 Mbps up/down.  Increase to a minimum or 12Mbps up/down if sharing with others in a household.

  • Video Device:  laptop, phone, tablet etc.

  • Video App:  Google Meet (others can be used upon request)

Young Students

  • With the young student (4-6 years), it is recommended that an adult attend to help with marking and tracking of music. 

  • Many parents enjoy learning alongside their child. Often, the young child will transition in taking the lesson without parental help.  Independence comes earlier!

We are very thankful to Jane for all her support and dedication, the results of her lessons surpassed all our expectations! We faced the situation when we had to find a new teacher for our son in the middle of level 10. We were lost . There are not many teachers who can prepare a student for a higher level exam and especially those who will take the responsibility of taking a new student of advanced level and lead the way through to the final exam. She has taken my son in the middle of level 10, sorted out and worked hard on all the techniques he needed to acquire and all goals he needed to achieve and successfully took him through to level 10 repertoire exam where he acquired 81%! The exam was an online exam and all the lessons were done online which made more sense. I was a little worried at the beginning but then I saw it didn’t make any difference versus in person lessons and it was much more convenient. My son was always amazed and puzzled how Jane can hear even the smallest slips and see things that in person would  go unnoticed. Our experience of learning with Jane’s online lessons was very positive and brought much better results than the previous in person lessons we had with another teacher. I highly recommend Jane to anyone, she is great at music and has amazing teaching skills, she is professional, compassionate and sincere. She will help your child become successful and instill a passion for music for many years to come. Thank you very much Jane! ~ Kristina Prasad
