Modern & RCM Piano

by Philip Laessoe

I teach weekly Modern & RCM Piano lessons hosted privately, at MMS (May's Music School) in Richmond, BC and online.

These days I recommend my students the online format. It's flexible and I can teach you regardless of where you are based in the world as my online teaching setup features sheet music and live notation, excellent view of the piano keyboard and high-end streamed stereo sound and provide you with an uploaded lesson recording after each lesson.

I teach all styles of music using primarily a Modern/Contemporary pop song repertoire that gives my students a level of freedom to choose songs as well, in combination with my own song recommendations and requirements. I also touch on famous songs rooted in Blues, Jazz, R&B, Country and Classical music.

By request, I can convert part of your lesson (or the entire duration) to teach you RCM Piano for levels 1-8, including all related Repertoire, Etudes, Tech. Requirements, Sight Reading, Ear Training as well as Music Theory. I often recommend my Modern Piano students this technical and theoretical step up after taking lessons for a year or two, as I am a certified RCM teacher as well.

Unity ∙ Resonance ∙ Within

by LAESoul

Soul unity is an inner state of union with self. A state of completeness and wholeness within yourself, where you don't look for anything or anyone outside of you. You ARE the universe and your own source of love. That state of being creates inner peace and establishes a level of harmony and unconditional love for the universe as a whole. It allows you to open up to the world, to be and feel everything authentically, the way things are right now. All human beings are capable of reaching this state if they are willing to let go.

All souls have an energetic counterpart (or counterpoint) as everything in our lower dimensional physical perception is experienced through a state of duality - a state of two: plus/minus, up/down, left/right, black/white, man/woman and you/me. We search for our "other half" not out of ignorance, but because energetically that state exists. That search, however, often removes the focus from what matters the most: your self - your soul - your mission - why you are here in the first place. You reconnect to your self by going within. Souls that have established a  solid feminine and masculine balance (harmonious  inner vs outer world) perhaps over countless of lifetimes or due to their higher dimensional origin can meet or reunite with their divine counterpart. Monadic and Split Souls (ie. Twin Flames) are two simultaneous incarnations that are here to "team up" to empower the shared soul/over-soul through working together, partnership, ego-mind transformation and soul-level awareness and recognition. To embody soul consciousness, mindfulness and to help mankind after having reached a stable inner union on their own.

I have balanced my own energies through anchoring a stable inner union leading a Divine Feminine energy life path, and I can guide you towards creating peace, harmony and self-love which will enable you to transform your life as a whole from within - through unity soul consciousness ie. inner union.
