Rachelle Risling
Master of Music, University of Toronto · ARCT, Royal Conservatory · 20 years teaching
Rachelle started piano at age four and has taught for two decades across Burlington and Oakville. Every student learns differently, so every lesson plan is different: reading music, playing by ear, or writing something entirely new. All Things Music marked ten years of students, recitals, and first songs this spring.
“One of the most impressive aspects of Rachelle's teaching style is her ability to tailor the lessons to our child's unique needs and learning style.”
