Award winning composer and pianist with a Doctorate in Music Composition from the University of Toronto offering online composition lessons.

I've been working with Elias for the past 2 years, and Elias has been an excellent teacher. With Elias' guidance and encouragement I've been able to build my confidence and abilities, and I'm really happy with my progress.

Elias is a patient and supportive teacher. His approach to breaking down new pieces and techniques into digestible parts has really helped me improve and take on increasingly challenging pieces.

In particiular, I'm grateful to work with a teacher as knowledgeable as Elias. His passion for music and passing that on to his students is clear and has made learning from him especially enjoyable and rewarding.

Elias is also always accommodating and responsive. I would highly recommend working with Elias!

I’ve been taking piano lessons with Elias for the past two years, and I couldn’t be happier with my progress. I was hesitant about switching to online lessons after years of in-person classes, but Elias made the transition smooth and effective. He has a keen ear and eye and is very engaged throughout the entire lesson. He will notice if you play a single wrong note in a large chord or if your timing is slightly off, which I always find impressive and makes him such an effective online teacher.

Thanks to Elias, my sight-reading has improved dramatically, and I’m playing pieces that I never imagined I could master, like Bach’s Prelude in C minor from the Well-Tempered Clavier and Chopin’s Nocturne in C-sharp minor.

Elias is incredibly patient and always understanding of my busy schedule (full-time working dad with two young kids). He’s always accommodating and makes lessons enjoyable and stress-free.

I’ve learned more in the past two years with Elias than I did in my previous 15 years of piano playing. If you’re looking for a fantastic piano teacher, I highly recommend Elias! You will see after your first lesson that his passion is teaching others, and his students are all better for it.

I have been taking lessons with Elias for over 3 years after quitting piano for over a decade. He was very patient with me, and within no time I found myself matching the level that I was at before quitting, and started overcoming previous plateaus thanks to his teaching methods! Highly Recommended!

I have been with Elias for about two years now, and since then I have been carefully guided and given the proper steps for my music to flourish. My lessons largely consist of reviewing my compositional works, and analyzing new music applicable to my interest. He is an outstanding teacher and brings a fresh outlook on music and piano. Our interactions have grown extremely personable and I consider him my friend.
