About Chinook School of Music Inc

As a general rule for piano students, elbows should be at a 90-degree angle so that the forearm is parallel to the floor. Feet should rest comfortably on the floor. If a student cannot reach the floor, use a footstool for the feet to rest upon rather than having feet dangle in the air.

For young students using footstools, bodyweight will rest on their seat. As the child grows taller this weight distribution shifts so that the majority of body weight is on the feet and the student will sit closer to the edge of their bench or chair. The spine should be in a straight position.

The "one size fits all piano bench" that comes with the purchase of most pianos is not the correct height for most players, regardless of age, stage and height. Even less ideal is the use of kitchen chairs at keyboards. This poor set up can have long lasting and detrimental effects on a student’s technical development.

In order to achieve optimal posture at the piano, an adjustable bench/chair is necessary. If the purchase of an adjustable bench or chair is not possible, have your child sit on a large textbook or very firm cushion placed on the chair to boost them higher.

Best Music school in Canada

A	Adam Hesse on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Our teacher is Meaghan and our son is 4 years old; the experience with her has been absolutely amazing. This is one of the activities our son looks forward to on a weekly basis and Meaghan has been incredible in listening to Brock and guiding his passions in music. She recommended piano as that’s what he was gravitating towards and has been exceptional at ensuring his continued development (and enjoyment!). I would recommend this to any parent who wishes to see their child develop these skill sets with the hopes that the teacher will cultivate passion just as much as skill.
A	Abdul Karim Kadri on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It has been a year since I joined Chinook School of Music as an adult learner, and my experience thus far could not have been better. It has always been a dream of mine to learn the piano and, after exploring my options in Calgary (and even on the web in general), I quickly realized that this school was the right choice. This is a school with friendly administrators and well-credentialed and talented teachers. My conviction that this school was the right choice was reaffirmed when I began lessons with Kevin Wong, my current instructor. His talent at both the piano and teaching, his professionalism, his flexibility, his kindness, and his great communication was clear from the beginning. He puts great effort into understanding his students and is committed to their progress and improvement. I have been thoroughly enjoying lessons with him and my experience has been very rewarding. I look forward to the coming years Kevin! This is getting lengthy so I'll wrap up with a final comment concerning the COVID 19 Pandemic. Chinook School of Music's adaptation to the situation was really appreciated: they offered online lessons, a great amount of flexibility regarding both prices and times, and organized online recitals. This is all appreciated. Again, thank you everyone at Chinook School of Music for making my first year of piano lessons so enjoyable!
T	Trevor Textor on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Well managed music school. We've been attending with our various young children for about four years. Many of the instructors have been excellent but on the odd occasion management has been very receptive to feedback. The school is now located in the basement located via stairs on the right hand side. The unfortunate part is being located in Marda Loop. That means terrible parking and traffic. Very narrow lanes and near misses.
S	S D on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ My 9 year old daughter started guitar with Lone last year and it's been a great experience! Lone has been an amazing fun teacher and lets her chose the songs she loves to play while teaching guitar basics. The progress she has made in just one year has been incredible! My younger daughter is also doing piano with Jennifer. She is wonderfully patient and also brings a lot of fun to the lessons. The school has been wonderful in communications with us and accommodating in our lesson times. We used to attend another music studio but am glad we made the switch to Chinook as it is much more organized and the teachers have been fantastic. I highly recommend both our teachers and Chinook Music school.
M	Melba Seto on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Miss Tweeties music in nature classes are so much fun! It’s so refreshing to find more active and engaging programs like this for little people. We love being outdoors and having music lessons set outside, and using natures instruments is just perfect!
L	Larissa Avery on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Lone is Such a great guitar instructor. My daughter is so excited to learn more and more every week. The whole music school is super professional, and excellent service and accommodation.
T	Tanya Jasper on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Our experience with Chinook Music has been excellent. My 10 year old started Ukelele with Lone in January, it’s been such a great experience. Lone is patient, makes learning fun, and she gets to pick the songs she wants to learn. She looks forward to her lesson each week!
R	Ruza Goulden on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Lone is a very talented guitar player and a great teacher! He is always friendly and quick to reply with any questions. My daughter loves playing the guitar and even more so enjoys going to practice and learning from him. Lone also asks what songs you want to learn and teaches them- bonus. Very happy to have him teaching my daughter to love playing guitar!
