May Basbaum

May's students don't just learn piano, they look forward to it every week. They stick with her for years and it’s not hard to see why. With 10 years at the Conservatory and RCM Level 10, May brings a structured, gentle approach to lessons where students know exactly what to expect and how to use momentum to maintain steady progress. Whether working from a book or choosing their own songs, the predictable routine of building their skillset from the ground up will help students develop their skills beyond the world of music.

May is especially great with young learners just beginning their piano journey across View Royal and Tillicum. She starts with the fundamentals and methodically builds out the practice habits and technique that will carry students through the RCM grades for years to come. Her gentle patience makes her a natural fit for kids who need encouragement more than pressure to fall in love with the instrument.
