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.
Shirley Nham - Piano teacher and group class instructor
Meet Miss Shirley
I’m a pianist and music educator with a passion for helping students build confidence and a lifelong love of music. I especially enjoy working with young learners and creating a positive environment where students feel comfortable exploring, asking questions, and having fun.
In my lessons, I focus on building strong relationships with each student while making learning both meaningful and enjoyable. I believe students learn best when they feel supported, encouraged, and excited to come to the piano each week.
I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Music from the University of Calgary, RCM Level 10 Piano and Theory, and an RCM Elementary Piano Pedagogy Certificate. I also teach early childhood music at Forte Music School in Marda Loop and run a mobile piano studio with a team of 11 teachers in South Calgary.
