Montreal Heart of the City Piano Program

The Montreal Heart of the City Piano Program provides free piano lessons to inner city children by bringing volunteer teachers into elementary schools. Our program strives not only to provide the children with a skill, but also to help foster self-esteem and show these children what they can accomplish with practice and dedication. Our volunteers are enthusiastic, community-oriented young adults who serve as excellent role models for the students.

For the volunteers, it’s refreshing to leave the stress of university life behind and spend time teaching something you’re passionate about. The kids are truly a pleasure to work with and their energy can brighten your day.

Interested in joining us or supporting us through a donation? We’re always looking for more volunteers, both with and without piano experience. Francophone? Nous enseignons en francais aussi!

Take a look through our website and if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact someone from our team. We would love to hear from you!

Sincerely,
Bettina Choo and Jeremy Van Slyke
Co-Directors 2011-2012
