Meet Kristie
Hi, I'm Kristie Woo, an RCM piano and music theory teacher based in Vancouver, B.C., with an ARCT in Piano Performance and nine years of teaching experience. My students have been recognized on the RCM First Class Honor Roll for BC & Yukon.
My approach is built around foundation. Rather than rushing students through pieces or drilling only the minimum exam requirements, I teach a broad, carefully chosen repertoire that builds real technical ability, musical understanding, and the practice habits that make progress stick.
Lessons are structured around clear expectations and consistent accountability with a focus on long-term development, not just passing the next exam.
Who is this for?
This studio is for students who:
Are ready to take their progress seriously
Are open to structure, guidance and accountability
May feel stuck or under challenged in previous lessons
Are willing to commit to consistent weekly practice.
This studio is built for students who are ready to commit. If that's you, I'd love to hear from you.
Hear from Parents and Students
“Kristie has been very, very patient with my daughter. Music theory at the beginning was not smooth. Kristie knows when my daughter needs support, and she tries different methods to help her understand. She sends out an email after every class with clear information, a recap, and what is expected for homework and the next lesson. There are times when my daughter is not motivated, and Kristie does not let her get away with that either. Kristie keeps my daughter on her toes.”

“Kristie is very considerate and understanding. She cares a lot about her students and always tries to set them up for success. I always feel comfortable talking to her and asking her questions. Not only is she able to answer questions I have regarding theory in depth, and using languages that help me understand better, she’s also able to give really good advice about challenges outside of music theory (such as academic advice and how to deal with stress).’
