I am Passionate About Music

I am Robert Gasidlo, an award-winning graduate of the respected Humber College Jazz Music Program in Toronto. I have performed extensively throughout the Georgian Bay area, all across Canada, and internationally on cruise ships. I have also recorded and performed with numerous bands ranging from solo piano to big band swing. I love to play intimate and introspective jazz piano in the spirit of Bill Evans and Tony Bennett.

"Music is my passion. I absolutely love teaching music, performing and tuning pianos."

Your Piano Needs to be on a Regular Tuning Schedule

For optimum performance and to extend its life, it is recommended that a typical family home piano be tuned once per year, at the same time each year. For advanced discerning professionals, tuning should happen twice per year at the times when the humidity is around the ideal 45%, generally in the spring and fall. → Read More

Exposing your piano to extreme climate swings can cause damage by shrinking and swelling the piano’s wood. In addition, dryness in the winter and high humidity in the summer can cause the piano to go out of tune, and eventually shorten the piano's life span. For optimum performance, pianos require a constant 45% relative humidity. → Read More

Some Words from Raving Fans

“Robert is a great source of information and support to help us care for our 100-year old Heintzman Grand Piano. Twice yearly, Robert comes to our home to tune and advise us on care for this precious instrument. I don't hesitate to welcome him into our home to do his work while we are away. He has our trust and our respect for his professionalism and care. I highly recommend Robert!“

Robert Gasidlo Piano Technician
”I am pleased that Robert has been my piano technician for the past several years. He gives a good tuning each time. He is skilled and meticulous, but more than that, he works tirelessly and resourcefully to adjust and regulate the action to suit me. Other technicians managed the tuning process, but Robert goes much further. He listens to my requests, finds the cause of any annoyances, and gets in there to fix any issues so that I get my very best possible piano to enjoy. Oh... and I enjoy hearing him play, too. Fun and inspiring!“
Brenda Shott | Chesley, ON

”Robert provides more than just in-home piano lessons. He inspires passion for and an understanding of music. His understanding of chord structures in both classical and contemporary music has helped my daughter appreciate music and understand melodic structures more. Robert's experience performing had my daughter captivated for the full hour of each lesson.“
