"Happy Students who play well"
“We will worm our way, expending considerable effort, into the small end of the cornucopia,” he promises, “in order that we may later emerge, expending less effort and having the time of our life, out of the large end.” From “Playing the Piano for Pleasure” by Charles Cooke. |

about myself

Serving Burlington, Dundas, and West Hamilton, Award winning teacher David Story, B.M., ARCT, R.M.T is now accepting students. I prepare students for piano exams, grades 1 to grade 10. As well, I teach a wide range of Jazz Piano, Classical, Folk, Pop, and Blues piano styles to beginners, accomplished musicians, piano teachers, and adult re-starters. I also tutor College and University students in piano, theory, composition, and audition preparation. In Dundas I teach in my studio, in Burlington I give in-home lessons. I've recently had published an original composition "Fado" available in "Canadian Contemporary Repertoire Series, level 2" This is published by Mayfair Music Publications.
I now offer Jazz Improvisation to all instrumentalists.
