PIANO AND THEORY - PARIS AND BRANTFORD
Clara's love of music started at the very young age of 5 when she watched Liberace play on the Ed
Sullivan Show on television. She knew immediately that she wanted to play the piano. Liberace
displayed such an incredible talent along with a flamboyant and glamorous persona that she fell in
love with it all! Clara's parents invested in an old player piano from nearby Gobels Auction in
Princeton, Ontario and she immediately started taking private piano instruction which she continued
until the age of 18 years. As soon as she passed her RCM exams, she immediately started teaching
piano to a multitude of students.
At age 12, Clara entered a talent contest at her church and was asked to consider helping out as the
accompanist for the youth department, Sunday School and Sunday services. With passion and
enthusiasm, Clara flourished as accompanist and continued on sharing in a number of churches in
Ontario and Alberta for over 15 years. She had the privilege of playing piano for various youth
concerts, talent competitions, television productions, weddings, church events, funerals and
dedications.
Clara has successfully taught piano students of all ages and levels for over 30 years. An educator by
profession, she feels that now is the time to share her passion and love of music through a music
academy. She provides a premium service with her IN-HOME PIANO AND THEORY LESSONS and
welcomes all levels of students- RCM Prep A to 10.
