Lorena is a Mexican-Canadian music composer.
She has taught piano and music theory to children and youth for more than thirty years and believes that learning the secrets of music is always a joy!
As a composer she has written music for all kinds of ensembles, even two operas. The second one was produced last summer in the main opera theatre in Mexico City.
She cares a lot about each student and always listens to their needs. For example: some children want to learn to read the notes and rhythms or even compose little pieces, while others like to learn the chords and accompany themselves at the piano and sing!
Lorena teaches beginners to advanced, all genres from popular to classical to exam preparation for RCM exams. As well, she is able to transform any piece students want to play, adapting it to their level; an important skill to keep students engaged and progressing.
