Your musical journey starts here.

Build confidence, creativity, and serious musical skill.

Elli Kozak Music was founded by Elli Kozak in 2021 after he moved from Toronto to Gatineau. With over eight years of experience teaching piano and music theory, Elli quickly realized that teaching was the most fulfilling part of his career as a composer, producer, performer, recording engineer, and audio editor.

As his studio grew through word-of-mouth referrals, he eventually had to turn students away. Wanting to make high-quality music education accessible to more people, he opened a space in Westboro, purchased his first acoustic upright piano, and began building a team of like-minded teachers.

Today, EKM brings together highly experienced musicians who understand that every student has different goals. Whether you're working toward a professional career or simply want to learn your favourite songs, EKM meets students where they’re at and helps them get where they want to go.

About our lessons

Our teaching philosophy

Start with goal-oriented lessons.

We begin with what you want to accomplish, whether it's playing/singing your favourite song or pursuing a career as a professional musician

Then, we introduce understanding-based theory knowledge.

Learning the "what" and "why" of what you're playing/singing and hearing to turn music into a language you can speak and master

With this foundation, we foster a love of music.

Together, you can use your knowledge and skills to tackle any musical endeavour or just enjoy listening to music in a whole new way. We offer several performance opportunities a year, including 2 recitals to showcase your work.
