Natasha Finlay teaching piano in Toronto

Hi, I'm Natasha.

I've been teaching piano in Toronto's east end for over 25 years — to children as young as four, teenagers who want to play the music they actually love, and adults who always meant to learn or want to pick it back up.

My students have gone on to win RCM Gold Medals, perform at festivals across Ontario, and — just as importantly — build a relationship with music that lasts a lifetime. I teach in English and French, in my Allen Ave studio or online.

If you're not sure where to start, the easiest thing is to book a single trial lesson. No commitment, no pressure — just come and play.
