About Lilly

Lilly’s piano journey began at the age of 6, with weekends dedicated to piano lessons – thanks to her mother’s unwavering support, driving her an hour to and from her classes.

At 13, Lilly earned first place at the Toronto Kiwanis Festival Piano Competition for Piano Solo (Sonatas). The following year, she performed Beethoven’s “Sonata Pathetique” at a recital, captivating an audience of hundreds.

By 16, Lilly achieved her ARCT Performer’s Diploma from the Royal Conservatory of Music. She has also completed advanced music theory and history classes.

Today, as a dedicated pianist, she continues to challenge herself with new pieces.

As a piano teacher, Lilly’s mission is to share her deep passion for music with her students. Believing that piano is all about connecting with the music, she tailors her courses to help each student grow as a pianist, both technically and creatively, with the goal of fostering a love for music that lasts a lifetime.

Lilly’s favorite composers include Chopin, Debussy and Rachmaninoff.

Outside of piano, Lilly holds a Bachelor of Software Engineering from McGill University, and a Master of Public Policy from Harvard Kennedy School.
