Located near downtown Kelowna, Upnotes Music is all about encouragement and optimism — celebrating every little win along the way. I’m an upbeat guy, and I really believe in focusing on the upside of learning music.
Even when things feel tricky or new, we keep the energy light, the vibes positive, and the progress moving forward — one Upnote at a time.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Alex to anybody looking for piano lessons for their child. I have been so pleased with how well the lessons have worked for my son and he has remained enthusiastic for several months now and is progressing steadily.

I have been lucky enough to find a teacher to suit my ability. Alex listens carefully to what I play and directs me in a friendly way, yet he is flexible in his approach. I never thought I could make so much progress in such a short time. At age 61, I feel like at last I am playing blues piano, don’t need to read black dots any more, and am even creating my own arrangements with the techniques I have learned. What a great teacher!

I had weekly lessons with Alex, who was an excellent teacher. He explained concepts well, and taught in a well-organized way. I learned a lot of things about chords and interpretation from him. Communicating with Alex was professional and prompt. Really happy with his service.

I always wanted to play piano, so my husband got me lessons with Alex last Christmas.
I was nervous but Alex was so friendly and such a great listener it made the whole thing very easy and enjoyable.
I can now play most of uptown girl (sorry Alex, still working on my chords) and I couldn't have done it without him. Highly recommended. I can clearly see why he's so talented.
