    Thank you so so much!!!! You made piano so fun, best teacher I could ask for!

    A Huge Part of My Childhood

    I took lessons with Hear & Now for almost 10 years, and looking back, I realize how much it shaped my love for music. It was never about just following a book—it was about exploring music in a way that felt exciting and personal. I wasn’t forced to play pieces I hated; I got to play what inspired me while still learning all the important technical skills. Would recommend 1000% ... Show More

    Not Your Typical Music Lessons

    I quit piano as a kid because it felt too rigid, but when I found Hear & Now as a teenager, I gave it another shot—and I’m so glad I did. They make music feel like music, not just a chore. I got to play film scores, improvise, and even write my own stuff. It completely changed the way I see music ... Show More

    A Perfect Balance of Structure and Creativity – We Feel So Lucky!

    The work they assign varies from traditional chords, scales and theory, to adaptations of popular songs that meet and improve on my son's current abilities. We feel really lucky to have found a service like Hear and Now - The teachers are approachable, professional, and seem to genuinely love what they do ... Show More

    Weekly Sunshine: A Perfect Mix of Fun and Musical Growth!

    “For years, Hear and Now has been my sons' weekly bit of sunshine. Our teacher has always been amazingly positive and fun when teaching my children. He easily connects with his students, so the combination of their deep musical/technical knowledge and his fun, hip vocabulary make him an ideal teacher. I highly recommend Hear and Now ...

    7 Years and Still Loving It – Music Made Fun!

    My boys both enjoy piano with Hear and Now and look forward to learning new pieces each week. They started 7 years ago and have never wanted to stop! It speaks volumes to Hear and Now's fun and engaging approach to teaching music and their relaxed but thoughtful rapport with them. They make playing music for them a pleasure, not a chore! Thanks for bringing music into our home. ... Show More

    More Than Just Music Lessons

    My daughter started with Hear & Now when she was 8, and now, at 13, she’s not just playing music—she understands it. The lessons go beyond just reading notes; they foster creativity and confidence. The teachers are patient, fun, and genuinely care about their students' progress. I never have to remind her to practice—she’s always excited to play ... Show More

    Lessons That Fit My Kid

    Both my kids take lessons with Hear & Now, and I love how different their lessons are. My older one is into classical music, while my younger one just wants to play pop songs—and both are thriving. The teachers tailor lessons to their interests while still teaching all the fundamentals. That flexibility is what makes Hear & Now special ... Show More

    Engaging, Fun, and Professional

    We've been with Hear & Now for 5 years now, and I couldn’t be happier. The teachers are professional, reliable, and really good at making lessons fun without losing structure. My son has developed not just as a pianist, but as a confident, expressive musician. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a supportive and engaging music program ... Show More


    Janet, Parent

    Lessons That Stick

    I enrolled my son in Hear & Now two years ago, hoping he’d pick up a skill. What I didn’t expect was for him to develop a real passion for music. He’s now in high school and still plays every day, even outside of lessons. That, to me, is the best testament to how great these teachers are. ... Show More

It’s a nurturing environment where kids don’t just learn music—they build confidence and creativity. We’re so grateful to be part of it ... Show More

    I Sat Down for 5 Minutes… and Played for 4 Hours!

    I was supposed to study for my exams, but I found a song I really wanted to play on the piano… and ended up playing for 4 hours! I just couldn’t stop!


    Bojana, Camper

    I Actually Like Practicing Now??

    I used to dread practicing piano before I started with Hear & Now. Now I sit down at the piano because I want to, not because I have to. My teacher always helps me find songs I actually enjoy playing while sneaking in the tricky stuff (scales, technique) without it feeling boring. Best decision ever ... Show More


    Ian, Camper

    Music Feels Easy Now

    I used to struggle with reading music and felt like I’d never "get it." My teacher at Hear & Now totally changed that. He broke things down in a way that actually made sense, and now I can read music without stressing out. Plus, I can play by ear way better than before. Wish I had started lessons here sooner ...

    From Zero to Actually Knowing What I’m Doing

    When I started, I literally had zero experience with guitar. Now I can play full songs, improvise a little, and even figure things out by ear. The best part? I never felt pressured or stressed about it. My teacher made sure I was always learning at my own pace ... Show More

    Director's Message

    Hear & Now was founded to bring a personal, human touch to music education. Too often, I saw companies focus on quantity over quality, treating students and teachers like numbers on a spreadsheet. But music education should be so much more—it should be about connection, growth, and inspiration.

    I’ve always believed that learning music isn’t about becoming a virtuoso overnight—it’s about building a meaningful, lasting relationship with music. When students feel supported and encouraged to explore at their own pace, something magical happens. They stick with it. And in doing so, they often surprise themselves with how far they can go.

    Driven by this vision, I reached out to trusted friends and colleagues who shared my passion for education that truly matters. Together, we built Hear & Now—a place where students feel supported, teachers feel valued, and music becomes a lifelong source of joy and confidence.

    What started as an idea has grown into a thriving community—one that prioritizes personal connections and celebrates the unique journey of every student. We’re not just teaching music; we’re helping people discover a love for it that lasts a lifetime.



    Staff and Counsellors

    Our staff is the heart of our approach to music education. All instructors hold bachelor’s or master’s degrees in performance, music education, or music therapy, with some specializing in early childhood education. They are chosen for their ability to inspire creativity and connect with students. We ensure a safe learning environment by conducting comprehensive background checks for all our teachers. With a low teacher-to-student ratio, we offer personalized attention. Many of our instructors have been with us for years, fostering continuity and strong relationships where students thrive and gain confidence.
