Harmony House Piano Studio
Registration Now Open for September 2026
Looking for piano lessons that are structured, encouraging, and fun?
Welcome to Harmony House Piano Studio, a welcoming home studio in West Galt (near Blair Road School) where students develop confidence, creativity, and a lifelong love of music.
After years of teaching in Preston, I am excited to welcome students into my newly renovated studio space — a dedicated music room designed for focused, enjoyable learning on an acoustic upright piano. The space won’t be ready until the fall, but I am opening up now for registration.
Whether your child is beginning their musical journey, learning for enjoyment, or preparing for Royal Conservatory of Music (RCM) practical and theory examinations, lessons are tailored to their individual needs, goals, and learning style.
Students will develop:
- Music reading skills
- Piano geography and keyboard awareness
- Rhythm and technique
- Musical expression and interpretation
- Independent practice habits
- Confidence, creativity, and musicianship
Registration is open for:
- Children ages 5 and up
- Beginner to advanced students
- Students preparing for RCM practical and theory examinations
- Students learning piano for enjoyment or working toward personal musical goals
Lessons primarily use the Piano Adventures method alongside Royal Conservatory of Music resources and teacher-created materials.
About Your Teacher
I am an Ontario Certified Teacher (OCT) with a Master of Education (MEd) and am currently a PhD candidate. I have over 20 years of piano teaching experience, 10 years of classroom teaching experience, and hold RCM Grade 9 Piano and Royal Conservatory Theory qualifications.
My teaching style is positive, structured, and engaging. I believe students learn best when they feel supported, challenged, and excited to come to lessons each week. My goal is not only to teach students how to play piano, but to help them become confident, independent musicians who develop skills that last a lifetime.
The house represents warmth, belonging, and connection, a place where students feel comfortable taking risks, making mistakes, and discovering their musical voice.
The evergreen trees represent strong foundations, resilience, and growth. Like a tree that grows steadily over time, musicians develop through patience, practice, and dedication. Each lesson helps students build skills, confidence, and independence that continue to grow throughout their musical journey.
Studio Details
Lessons take place in my dedicated, newly renovated piano studio on an acoustic upright piano.
Families are welcome to:
- Relax in a comfortable indoor/outdoor waiting area during lessons
- Drop off and use the time for errands
- Park in my large private driveway or along my quiet dead-end street
Please note: I currently have one friendly kitten and may be welcoming another soon. The kittens are kept out of the piano studio during lessons but may occasionally be present in other areas of my home. Families with significant cat allergies should consider whether this environment is the right fit.

Studio Policies
Each lesson time is reserved exclusively for your child each week.
Please provide at least 24 hours’ notice if your child will miss a lesson.
Lessons cancelled with appropriate notice may be rescheduled during an available make-up time.
Same-day cancellations and missed lessons without notice are not eligible for make-up lessons or refunds.
If I need to cancel a lesson, families will receive either a make-up lesson or a refund.
These policies help ensure fairness for all families and allow the studio schedule to run smoothly while providing every student with a consistent weekly lesson time.
To support your child’s success, students should have regular access to a piano or full-size (88-key) keyboard at home and follow a consistent practice routine. I am happy to provide guidance based on your child’s age, level, and goals.
Steady progress comes from consistent practice between lessons. Students should arrive each week prepared to perform the pieces and exercises assigned at their previous lesson, demonstrating the growth and confidence that come from regular practice.
Register Today!
Spaces are limited and will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis.
I look forward to welcoming new students to Harmony House Piano Studio this September and helping them grow into confident, creative musicians.
Contact Kate today to reserve your child’s lesson time.

I am trained in classical piano, and theory, I hold a Diploma in Piano Performance London UK College of Music.
I am intimately familiar with the RCM curriculum and system, feel most at home working with young children to early teens, and have been teaching at both privately and with institutions.
My performing background has been predominantly classical repertoire, but I am happy to keep my lesson structure adaptable to whatever my students or students’ parents are looking for.
As a teacher, I am currently affiliated with the KSM musical network and school, which spans all of Ontario.
I am creating lesson plans unique to each individual student’s needs as well as creating long-term learning goals, including teaching theory from Basic to Advanced Rudiments.
My teaching style is to prioritize fostering a love of music foremost. In my experience, if I can teach a student to love music, technical development and the discipline required follow naturally.
I am happy to adapt my lesson plan to my students' wishes and goals, whatever they are.
For your convenience, I can visit students at their homes, in the Kitchener / Waterloo area.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to me and chat about the first lesson!
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to get in touch with me through the Kratovic School by replying to this directly.
Thank you,

Creative Music Lessons with Evan in Uptown Waterloo:
- piano lessons (beginners & advanced students welcome)
- improvisation (on piano, voice, or any other instrument)
- music theory & composition (with or without standard notation)
- looping (using the loop pedal of your choice)
- music production (using the DAW of your choice)
I love to help others explore the piano as an outlet for their expression and creativity! My piano students learn foundational techniques and musical building blocks that can be used for exploring any genre or style of music. I always encourage having the freedom to make mistakes while working on anything, and treating everything as a learning experience.
Students can bring any musical content to a lesson (songs, classical pieces, video game or movie soundtracks, jazz standards, etc.).
Students can also share any musical aspirations (to play in a band, compose music, do music production, improve skills with improvisation, learn all about chords and music theory, etc.) - and together we can look at practical steps and techniques for working towards those goals.
Although piano is the primary instrument I teach, I also help students to improve their improvisation skills on whatever their primary instrument may be. Outside of piano-focused lessons, I've worked mostly with singers and guitarists - composing loops using a loop pedal, improvising melodies, and doing a bit of piano to help understand the theory involved in chords & keys. I also offer assistance with effects pedals for guitar, keyboard, or voice.
Interested in music production? I also help students who are composing music using a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation). We can work on things like MIDI loops and software instruments, creating drum beats, using MIDI controllers, and basic audio editing techniques for mixing tracks. My personal experience is primarily with Logic and Ableton Live, so I can offer some amount of technical assistance with these applications. Students are also welcome to bring in projects using other DAWs, and we can work on the creative elements of the music-making.
I believe that having a sense of play and enjoyment is most important for anyone's musical journey. I offer lessons for all levels of piano, composition, improvisation, looping, music production, music theory, and any mixture of the above.

My studio is located uptown in Waterloo.
Bio:
Evan studied piano and composition / improvisation at Wilfrid Laurier University, where he also played keyboard and sang in various bands, and played piano and melodica as part of Improvisation Concerts Ensemble (ICE). Since graduating, he has performed solo and as a part of various duets - at cafes, restaurants, bars, churches, theatres and art galleries. He has also attended and hosted sound meditation events, where the focus is on listening together and creating sounds spontaneously with instruments & our voices. From 2018 onwards, he has focused mainly on his ambient recording project Cedarwood Sounds. These soundscapes are made from loops, drones, spontaneous melodies, and other sound sources such as field recordings.
