REVIEWS
TEACHING
"Having just moved to Hamilton from Toronto, Ian has been very accommodating and has developed a positive relationship with both of our teenage pianists. He puts them at ease and understands well how to foster and support their musical interests. His guidance about Royal Conservatory theory and practical expectations is also a major asset."
- Eric Robertson, parent
"Our daughters have been taking piano lessons with Music by Ian Green for more than five years. Ian's attentive and receptive teaching has enabled a positive environment for exploring music in a variety of genres. He understands their individual learning styles and personal interests in order to keep them engaged in music that is of interest to them. Our daughters have both developed a love and appreciation of music that I believe will stay with them for years to come. Thank you Ian!"
- Christina Pridmore, parent
"Our son started piano lessons with Ian in 2017 based on a positive recommendation from a friend. He had completed his Grade 6 RCM exam and wanted to learn some jazz and contemporary pieces as well as work on completing the RCM theory requirements. Ian has provided a perfect balance of exposing our son to new genres of music, while at the same time, continuing to progress with classical pieces, theory and technique."
- Heather Barnes, parent
"Ian has been teaching piano to our 3 children with varying personalities and musical interests for a number of years. He has a way of connecting with each student and tailoring the lessons to the interests of the child whether it’d be RCM exam prep, jazz music, or pop/video game music. We have also enjoyed the many opportunities he provides through recitals (both formal and informal) to share music with other students/families and continue to be inspired.”

WEDDINGS
"We hired Ian to play at our wedding ceremony and during our cocktail hour and I'm so glad we did!! He did a fantastic job and was such a pleasure to work with! When trying to pick songs to use for the ceremony he was very forthcoming with some great selections. He also brought all his own equipment, did his own set-up and tear down, and even moved his equipment the day of, as the ceremony and cocktail hour were in two different locations. He was extremely supportive of our music choices (my husband and I have very different taste in music), and we received numerous compliments throughout the day. I would highly recommend Ian to anyone looking for a wonderful, talented and extremely accommodating and easy to work with pianist!!"
