Vern K.

“Whether working on improvisation of contemporary pieces or classical repertoire, Carlo is terrific at coming up with and demonstrating solutions that render even the most challenging passages easy to learn. His approach is student-centered, supportive, and fun.”

Tracy L.

“My daughter advanced to level 5 piano and level 8 technique after studying with Carlo for only one and a half years. He consistently encourages her to push her abilities so that she can expand her potential and grow.”

Saige H.

“I enjoy my performances and lessons with Carlo because he always makes me feel like I’m being challenged. He makes me feel proud and confident in my abilities and when I perform on stage. I want to become a piano teacher one day and inspire others with my music.”

Adult Student

“Carlo is passionate about music and teaching piano. As an adult learner who took a break from piano lessons for 45 years, I find Carlo’s approach to teaching both enjoyable and productive.”

Jaime V.

“Carlo truly cares about his students and consistently goes over and above as a piano teacher: he has been a mentor to my son, helping him with personal development, building confidence, and combating his shyness, as he navigates his teen years. We are truly blessed to have Carlo in our lives!”

Kimia S.

“I’ve been studying with Carlo since 2018 and his guidance has gone beyond elevating my piano skills by teaching me valuable life lessons. His effective practice methods and time management strategies have helped me become more disciplined and productive. Carlo’s support has been instrumental in my academic success. I am incredibly grateful for the mentorship and the lasting skills I’ve gained from my lessons with him.”

Anya L.

“Teacher Carlo has been my coach and mentor since 2017. I’ve developed in many areas as a musician, including improvisation, technique, and musicality in my time with him. Without exception Teacher Carlo truly has a special heart, inspiring and supporting me with his cheerful spirit and incredible attitude. He applies the virtues he teaches, inspiring others to achieve the same.”

Frank V.

“Lessons at Virtus are revelatory. The music is more than notes on a page. The techniques taught by Carlo help me to make the music shine be it hand position, phrasing, optimal fingering etc.”

Jason Z.

“Carlo taught me how to improvise, which lets me play the songs I love. His lessons also improved my technique and posture, making my playing smoother and more comfortable. Every lesson is engaging, full of great vibes and inspiring music ideas—I’m always excited for the next one!”

Adult Student

“Never have my past three teachers, even one at a music conservatory in Calgary, taught me what Carlo has about technique and posture. The level of granularity and attention to detail we cover in my lessons has been absolutely amazing. The way I approach the piano now is on a whole new level.”
