Piano Teacher in Calgary

Owner, NUVO Music School
Bachelor of Music Degree in Piano Performance (University of Regina)
Education Degree
Growing up in a rural area of Saskatchewan with plenty of time on her hands, Lesley filled the hours with music. She always loved playing the piano. Thought to be a performer at first, she completed a B. of Music Degree in Piano Performance, and then as the winner of the Young Artist Series Competition, she performed a series of 10 concerts across Western Canada. She then realized her love of teaching. She taught in several music schools, adding an Education Degree, and then took the leap to open NUVO Music School 12 years ago in the South Surrey/ White Rock area in BC.
While running NUVO Music School, Lesley saw the need for a program with more instruction time throughout the week and created Piano on the Prairies which now includes Guitar, Violin, Voice, Clarinet & Saxophone, all taught by highly qualified and engaging teachers.
Between personal instruction and running NUVO Music School, Lesley has brought music to thousands of families throughout the years. With Piano on The Prairies, she is excited to bring an integrated approach to learning the piano with a focus on building confidence and fostering creativity through consistent weekly instruction with progress being key and achieving tangible results.
