We are committed to offering a teaching approach that not only imparts knowledge but also brings immense joy and personal fulfillment to our students.
Our method of teaching focuses on developing essential qualities such as a strong work ethic and self-discipline. Through our lessons, students not only learn how to play their instrument but also gain valuable skills such as music analysis, self-awareness, and positive self-correction. By guiding students through various levels of repertoire and performance expectations, we provide them with the necessary tools to excel in their musical pursuits.
We understand the importance of a structured and progressive learning experience. Our lessons are designed to facilitate gradual and continuous improvement, allowing students to advance at their own pace. In our nurturing environment, students are encouraged to explore their musical potential and receive personalized guidance to overcome challenges and refine their skills.
In addition to technical proficiency, we place a strong emphasis on the development of musicianship and artistry. Our students gain a deep understanding of musical expression, interpretation, and phrasing, enabling them to fully express their artistic potential. Through regular practice, performance opportunities, and exposure to a wide range of musical styles, students at K&M Music School develop a well-rounded musical foundation.
We offer a comprehensive range of music lessons tailored to individual preferences and skill levels.

At K&M Music School, we believe that music education goes beyond the technical aspects. It is a transformative and enriching experience that fosters personal growth, self-expression, and a lifelong appreciation for music. We are dedicated to nurturing a new generation of musicians who possess not only exceptional playing abilities but also a deep and genuine love for the art of music.
At our Music School, our goal is to provide valuable private music lessons to beginner, intermediate, and advanced students of all ages. Our way of teaching promotes a synergistic relationship between mind and body. Movement, appropriate reactions, and attention to detail are combined to create self-assurance as students learn.
At K&M Music School, we are passionate about guiding beginners on their musical journey, particularly in piano, violin, cello, bassoon, and harp lessons. Our children’s music programs provide an excellent introduction to music fundamentals and continue to expand as students progress. We aim to instill in students a deep appreciation for the challenges, complexities, and rewards that come with learning to play an instrument.
We hope to inspire students and their families to learn more about classical music traditions, musicianship, and performance through many years of lessons.

Katherine Dvoskin is an incredible pianist and teacher. Over the past few years, I have worked with her for recitals and competitions. Her professional experience and vast knowledge of performance practice is apparent in the way she plays and guides. I always feel supported when performing with her, and her musicality elevates any performance I have played with her. I highly recommend her as a teacher and collaborator!Posted on Rouzbeh TahmasebiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. K&M Music is the best training center we have experienced in Canada and USA, the instructors teach the theory of music, and based on that the student practices classic compositions, students cannot and are not allowed to memorize the music but rather learn the theory of music, I would recommend this center to everyone who wants to learn music fundamentally.Posted on Gilbert LiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
