A note from the founder

Why I teach

I grew up in Montreal taking piano lessons, and later cello and voice. I wasn’t always the kid who wanted to practise. But those lessons taught me things I still use every day: staying with something hard until it gets easier, playing for people when I’m nervous, hearing “not yet” from a teacher and coming back the next week.

At 17 I fell in love with jazz. I went on to earn a Bachelor of Music in jazz performance at the Université de Montréal and a master’s in songwriting and production at Berklee College of Music. For the past three years, I’ve been working in Los Angeles as a producer, singer and songwriter, alongside world-renowned producers like Stargate.

What I love most now is passing on what those first lessons gave me. My students learn to focus for half an hour, to trust that practice works, and to play for their family with confidence. And every week they get one hour with a teacher who is paying full attention to them.

Every child should have that, wherever they live. That’s why Interlude is online, in English or French, with the same teacher every week.

    FAQ

    Questions parents ask

    Something else on your mind? Write to us and we’ll reply within one school day.

    What do we need at home?

    A laptop or tablet with a camera and stable internet. For piano, a piano or a keyboard with at least 61 full-size keys. For production, a computer with Logic, Ableton or Pro Tools; headphones help for voice. We check your setup together in the trial lesson.

    Do we need a Zoom account?

    No. Click the link in your confirmation email. The free Zoom app sounds best, and we’ll show you the “original sound for musicians” setting.

    How young can my child start?

    Piano from age 5, voice from 7, songwriting from 10 and production from 12. For the youngest, a parent nearby for the first lessons helps a lot.

    What if we miss a lesson?

    Reschedule or cancel at least 24 hours ahead for a makeup credit valid 30 days. Later cancellations can’t be made up. If your teacher cancels, the lesson is always made up.

    What time zone are lessons in?
