I have been teaching piano and violin lessons for over ten years. I have a BA in Music from the University of Texas Pan American (now UT-Rio Grande Valley) with a concentration on violin and honors studies. I have studied piano, violin, viola, and voice. I have experience as an orchestral and chamber musician, accompanist, jazz and opera singer, mariachi, composer, arranger, songwriter, and performer. My band Corine Garcia and the Meow Meow Meows can be heard on Spotify and iTunes. I taught mariachi and orchestra in the public schools for eight years before becoming a full time independent music teacher. I am a member of the Suzuki Association of the Americas, Music Teachers National Association, Texas Music Teachers Association, and Magic Valley Music Teachers Association.

With my piano students, I want them to be fluent music readers. Each student has specific tastes, so I supplement all my piano students lessons with music choices that appeal to them. I try to balance “work” and “fun” as far as learning the elements of music goes, so that they enjoy the process and the results.

I have been teaching piano for over twenty years and playing for thirty years. I studied music at Indiana State University where I also received my Masters in education. I am a very patient teacher and work hard to individualize each lesson for every student. Knowing that each student is unique, my lessons are not one size fits all.

Professional Pianist with 10 years+ of experience and an orchestra background. Doctorate (D.M.A) from Rutgers University, USA. Methods taught, such as RCM and Yamaha. I am classically trained and started my music journey with the piano and flute at the age of 5. I started playing bassoon when I was 11 years old. Between grades 3 and 12, I studied in a music-gifted program. I have attended the following schools earning the following degrees: • Rutgers University, Mason Gross School of the Arts, New Jersey (Doctor of Musical Arts) • Mannes School of Music, The New School, New York (Master of Music) • University of Taipei, Taiwan (Bachelor of Music). In class, I follow RCM and Yamaha methods and textbooks. I teach piano and music theory in a couple of music schools in Toronto. I encourage students' musical, social, personal, and emotional development by creating dynamic, well-thought-out lesson plans that empower and engage them. I will assist you with preparing for any future music theory test or simply learning music for enjoyment. I am a self-motivated, creative individual who champions diversity, equality, and inclusion in music education, as well as developing and promoting novel teaching ways to overcome learning hurdles. I am a multilingual communicator (Mandarin Chinese and Taiwanese) who develops great bonds with kids and their parents/guardians from a variety of ethnic, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds.
