Harrison Jarvis Piano Studio

Great prospect for piano lessons!

I love the positivity and playfulness Harrison brings to learning the piano. He's focused on my specific goals and keeps our sessions light and fun. We have a lot of laughter which supports learning, and I appreciate how he celebrates my wins, accommodates my schedule, and provides exercises that are creative and relevant to the songs I want to learn. Thanks Harrison! More...

I've never met anyone with a more contagious passion for music than Harrison. What I've learned from him has quickly made music seem like more of a first language than a foreign one. An incredibly skilled teacher that clearly finds joy in bringing out the best in his students. More...

Myla absolutely loves and lives for her Friday afternoon piano lessons as it’s the first time her teacher, who is joyful, knowledgeable, interesting, & funny; teaches according to her interests and needs and not a one size fits all model. Harrison definitely keeps her motivated and interested!

Harrison keeps her interested in between classes too by sending her links to material she wants to practice, tools with which to do just that and a sincere and genuine interest in her musical development. She’s learnt more in a few weeks than in the last two years! More...

As a teacher myself, I am really picky when it comes to choosing my son's instructor and I was thrilled when Harrison said he was available to tutor my son.
Harrison is a joyful, patient and responsible teacher who has in depth knowledge and ample experience in music. What more can you ask? I believe having a high level degree in music does not mean he or she can teach others. However, I was amazed how my 5 year old son was exposed to a variety of music elements. My son was able to play and touch his grand piano like our electric piano at home. I found some other alternatives we had explored in the past were very strict and very teacher oriented but Harrison made the environment pleasant and exciting. My son was encouraged to recognize different rhythms, sound and melody and looked forward to class every week.
I strongly recommend Harrison, he is head and shoulders above the rest. More...

Let me start by saying that one is never too old to learn or relearn the piano.
During the dreary days of Covid lockdown, Harrison answered my request to rekindle my love of this instrument. My decades old basic Grade 5 Royal Conservatory ability had Harrison digging deep for ideas. I was impressed at his simple presentation of a wide and inviting array of instruction. With every weekly lesson, he found new ways to spark my interest, increase my love of playing, build my skills and inspire me to go further. From a review of sight reading, simple scale techniques and music theory, to allowing me to choose the pieces I wanted to learn, Harrison creatively built our one hour Zoom sessions into an experience that I looked forward to every week. He encouraged my strong ear for music, helping me understand that it too, is critically important in playing. His diverse knowledge and unique instructional talents in teaching piano have nudged me back to enjoying practising and playing. With these solid learning sessions, I have a bevy of tunes under my belt, including a new grasp of jazz piano - something I've always wanted to try! My confidence in my ability to read music has strengthened and I am inspired to learn more pieces on my own, to compose a little and to play more often.
Harrison is a gifted instructor with a masterful piano background. No matter what your age or ability, your piano learning is guaranteed to be a positive, diverse, enjoyable journey with Harrison as your instructor. More...

Harrison complements his classes with
digital tools and programs that are well
placed and easy for the kids to grasp
and use. I cannot sing enough praises!

We had tried in the past at a local piano school, but it didn’t go very well; after a couple of lessons, my son wasn’t interested in going anymore.
What a difference Harrison made. Our son simply cannot wait to go to his lessons every week. Harrison did a wonderful job at making sessions interesting for him. Harrison is creative, passionate about music and genuinely dedicated. More...
