About Us
Grace Stelmaschuk - Studio Owner and Piano Teacher
Meet Miss Grace
I'm a classically trained pianist and the owner of Stel Piano Studio in West Hillhurst. I help students of all ages learn, grow, and genuinely love playing the piano.
At my studio, lessons are creative, structured, and inspiring. We focus on strong musicianship and confident playing while keeping the joy of music at the center of every lesson.
I'm a member of the Alberta Piano Teachers Association, where I currently serve as Social Media Strategist, and I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Music from the University of Calgary, where I studied piano performance under Professor Edwin Gnandt.
"As a fellow professional in the field, I have great respect for the care and professionalism Grace brings to her work. She continually invests in her own development through ongoing lessons, teacher workshops, and educational events—ensuring her students benefit from the most up-to-date and effective teaching practices."

Silvia Todea - Piano Teacher and theory club teacher
Meet Miss Silvia
With over five years of experience teaching piano and piano theory, Silvia is dedicated to cultivating consistency through lesson planning that suits students’ unique needs.
Alongside developing technical and musical skills, she encourages patience, creativity, and a growth mindset in her students, qualities which support them at the piano and beyond.
Silvia has achieved a Level 10 certification in piano from the Royal Conservatory of Music, as well as a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature with a minor in Psychology.
"I had the pleasure of having Silvia Todea as my piano instructor for a few years. Throughout these years I learned a lot as I developed my skills and increased my RCM level. Silvia's ability to connect to her students is her biggest asset, as her willingness to help and persistence kept me motivated to do my best in order to impress her. Atop this, her patience with me in times of struggle, and her ability to explain my next steps for success, truly helped me to achieve my goals in piano. She led me to new heights in my piano journey, and I will always be grateful to have had her as my teacher."
