About

Hello! My name is Tor. I am a classical pianist and film composer. I teach piano and music theory to all levels of pianists.

My focus on lessons is learning how to sight-read/read music, developing the proper techniques and musical skills to make your playing as lovely as it should be.

Feel free to reach out if you would like to start lessons as a beginner, or build upon what you know!

    My daughter has some background in music but with the pandemic her motivation to practice dropped and I didn’t want to invest in online lessons anymore. With Tor I’ve noticed an improvement in her playing and overall confidence. He pushes her to do more which I really appreciate.

    Frequently asked questions

    On the first day I introduce the piano and the character of the instrument to the student, posture, and overall beginner piano etiquette. I familiarize the instrument with the students and get to know the students learning level.

    I have been teaching for about 10 years working with both beginner and adult students

    Standard pricing is $1 per minute for the first 45 minutes. Additional pricing is dependent on travel distance to student.

    I was still studying when I had friends interested in learning. So I began to give them lessons, they then spread the word and I've been doing so ever since

    I have worked with music students, aspiring pianist, hobbyists, children, and adults

    Not every teacher is the same. So it's important to find a teacher than can teach to your style of learning and not just follow a standard teaching agenda that may or may not work

    Ask yourself why you want to learn piano, and then set realistic goals to fulfill that commitment.
