Michael Coburn

I am an experienced piano teacher, adjudicator, performer, and father of two. I am passionate about helping my students achieve their goals and have fun along the way. I bring energy and enthusiasm to every lesson as I support students in creatively searching for solutions and celebrating their successes. I teach at the Maritime Conservatory of Music (Halifax), Chinook School of Music (Calgary), and privately in person and online. I have been teaching for nearly twenty years, and have been adjudicating music festivals across Alberta for a decade. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Piano Performance from the University of Calgary where I was featured as a soloist with the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra, and an ARCT diploma from the Royal Conservatory. Before teaching piano lessons in Halifax, I worked in Calgary as the Piano Faculty Director at Chinook School of Music, the Director of Music at Parkdale United Church, and the Artistic Director of Cum Vino Cantus Choir.
