Erin Grasmeyer
About
Hello there! My name is Erin and I’m a piano and music theory teacher.
I have been playing piano for 15 years and I have my level 10 with the Royal Conservatory of Music. I’m a future music major, and I will be studying at the Faculty of Music at the University of Toronto in September of 2019. I have been teaching piano for the past 6 months, have peer-tutored a beginner's keyboard class and I have also worked as a music theory consultant for an app.
I teach beginner and intermediate students of all ages. I like to focus in on what the student wants to learn. A lot of the time, I arrange the scores for my students, that way they play the music they want at their skill level.
If you’re interested in taking online lessons with me, don’t hesitate to send me a message. I look forward to hearing from you!

Teaching Style
My teaching style has an emphasis on fostering a love of music in the student. I tailor the lessons to the student’s abilities and and help them develop the skills needed for them to achieve their personal goals. I also arrange the sheet music for a song of the student’s choice at their skill level. I find that in doing so, students get more out of the lessons and are more motivated to practice.
Curriculum
The curriculum will vary depending on the student's ability however lessons will focus on the following:
Piano:
-Learning the basics of the instrument (note names, finger numbers, hand position, how to read sheet music, how a piano works, etc.)
-Work on the student's piece(s)
-Scales and other technique building exercises
-Sight-reading and ear tests
Music Theory and History
-Following the Royal Conservatory's program for levels (you can find their curriculum here)
