Contemporary Piano, RCM & Theory

I teach weekly Contemporary Piano & Keyboard lessons  hosted in person at May's Music School in Richmond, BC and online at SonicShape Studio P in Vancouver, BC.

I teach all styles of music using a modern / popular song repertoire that gives the student a level of freedom to choose songs in combination with my own song recommendations and requirements, also featuring famous songs rooted in Blues, Jazz, R&B, Country and Classical music.

I also teach RCM Piano for levels 1-8, including all related Repertoire, Etudes, Technical Requirements, Sight Reading, Ear Training as well as Music Theory.

Zensoe: Soul Vibration & Alignment

As the soul (re)incarnates into a physical vessel like the human body, upon entering the third dimensional physical plane, the state of duality becomes the fundamental principle of existence. Our minds reflects the energy as it fluctuates throughout the day based on the input of emotions, feelings and reactions to internal and external stimuli. Energetically, the states of fluctuation, like waves of electricity, are measured between a positive and a negative pole, like a battery resembled in the Yin and Yang principle. Yin and Yang has nothing to do with biological gender as they merely represent polarized aspects like being active vs passive, leading vs following, giving vs receiving, light vs darkness etc. The Yin and Yang combined symbolizes a balanced state of integration between these two aspects, including the fact that one side has a bit of the other inside of them. No ordinary human being is capable of being fully immersed in Zen/balance constantly at all times, instead the goal is to minimize the fluctuations. There are many ways to do this, and it does require an integrated level of self-discipline, openness and willingness to let go of control/outcome/expectations. This path is also often accompanied by hard times of shedding the old such as experiencing ego deaths (Dark Night of The Soul) etc. Luckily, as one overcomes these spiritual challenges and embrace the new state of being, you will gradually notice an increased state of self-love, peace, acceptance as you embrace the true natural state of alignment of your soul and vibrate at your highest level of authenticity.

This knowledge is vital for people whose souls have reached the level of maturity to take on the true Twin Flame Journey of experiencing its own vibration in another body simultaneously, based on either a lower (5d/Split Soul), or the higher dimensional (Monadic) soul cosmological principle, the latter being the soul journey I am on.

Zensoe: Vedic & Western Astrology

In my opinion, astrology is the most powerful and comprehensive energy language there is. Not as instantly reflective as numerology, but much more detailed and objective despite providing subjective conclusions when translated into the physical. It can bend and break people tied to a fear-based belief system, but can also bless you to the greatest extend and develop the understanding and most balanced execution of your own energies and soul vibration. When teaching this, I break down all main aspects of understanding your own natal chart within the grids of both Tropical (seasonal) and Sidereal (constellation-based) astrology. Both languages are highly applicable in different ways and complement one another, as you develop the clearest picture of understanding when utilizing both systems separately, then combine the knowledge you gain. I apply both Vedic/Jyotish and Western concepts in my approach.

Other topics I cover: What Is Astrology? Forecasts & Predictions. Relationship Aspects & Compatibility. Synastry (Overlap) & Composite (Merging) Charts. Transits & Progressions. The (Non)-Difference Between Astrological Systems. Divine Counterparts: Split Soul & Monadic Twin Flame Aspects, Soul Mate & Karmic Relationship Astrology. Pillar of Severity (-), Balance & Mercy (+). The Kabbalah. Tree of Life. Vedic Principles like Nashaktras, Yogas, Dashas, Atmakaraka, Divisional Charts etc. Numerology. Basic Tarot. Astrology's Positive & Negative Implication.
