Welcome to McIsaac Music School

Hello and welcome!  Bonjour et bienvenue!   My name is Francine Regaudie-McIsaac. I’m a member of the Royal Conservatory of Music (RCM) College of Examiners in both piano and theory. I’ve been teaching for over 40 years (started as a teenager) and I enjoy teaching students of all ages and levels. Music is my passion and I try to instill this love to my students.  It’s not about producing concert pianists but developing a life-long love of playing the piano.  I am a certified teacher with RCM in Advanced Piano, Advanced Harmony (includes Analysis) and Advanced History.  I also teach Piano Pedagogy. If you have any questions contact me at mcisaacmusic@gmail.com

Beginner/Intermediate Piano Lessons (ages 6 and up) 
Piano lessons vary from 45 minute to 60 minute lessons dependent on the level. All students are welcomed to explore a variety of musical genres in a friendly and positive environment. For those so-inspired students, composing their own is welcomed and encouraged. Students use Royal Conservatory Sixth Edition Piano Series (Preparatory to Level 10) which includes a variety of musical styles as the primary approach. . (Examinations are optional but recommended.) All students learn music theory and sight reading in every lesson. Proper technique and body movement are developed at this stage to avoid serious problems at the advanced levels.

Advanced Piano Lessons

Lessons at this level vary from 60 to 90 minutes.  Proper technique is developed at this level if not already achieved.  Transfer students are welcome!  A rich variety of repertoire is explored to form well-rounded musicians. 

*Students at all levels help in the selection of repertoire to study.

Adult Lessons (all levels of experience welcome) 
Adult lessons are set-up to the needs and taste of each individual, and his/her goals. Perhaps you just want to play for your own enjoyment (always a priority), or build confidence to play for others, or you just want to learn familiar tunes.  Perhaps you’ve played for years but want to develop your technique and facility at the piano.  Whatever you goals are I can help you!

Post-secondary Music Program Audition preparation 

I successfully prepare students for University and College music program auditions. I provide help with repertoire selection (if necessary), theory requirements or performance skills.  I’m familiar with many university and college programs.  If you are are considering studying music at the post-secondary level - please contact me for more information.

Student Performance Opportunities: 
Non-competitive and competitive performance opportunities are always available to those who want to perform!  All Students are encouraged to participate in studio recitals, festivals and other competitions..
