Sara Passiniemi

RCM-Trained Piano Teacher for Beginners & Intermediates

Sara has always had a passion for and a natural draw to music, beginning piano lessons at the age of three. She studied through the Royal Conservatory of Music and completed Grade 8 exams and festivals, discovering her love for teaching at sixteen. With over a decade of experience, she now specializes in beginner to intermediate levels.

With a gentle and encouraging approach, Sara nurtures her students’ strengths, creating lessons that are fun, positive, and tailored to each individual. While she values giving students the skills and structure to play with confidence, her greater mission is to foster a love and appreciation for the beauty of music—helping them build creativity, discipline, and joy that extends far beyond the piano.

In addition to teaching music, Sara also works at an interior design firm in both marketing and interior design, where she continues to pursue her passion for creativity, beauty, and design. She also loves connecting with people and building meaningful relationships, something she carries into her teaching.
