Ilona Sky — pianist, recording artist, educator

Ilona Sky is a classically trained pianist and recording artist whose work spans performance, composition, and music education. Her debut album Sorrow's Awakening is available on iTunes and Apple Music — a collection of original piano compositions that drew listeners into the same emotional depth she brings to her teaching.

As curator of LostCanvas and director of Windsong Music studio, she brings the same precision and sensitivity to instruction that she applies to performance. Whether you're picking up an instrument for the first time or deepening an existing practice, her teaching meets you where you are.

Every lesson is tailored to your goals — technique, repertoire, ear training, or pure exploration.

What You'll Study

Six paths into music

Every lesson is one-on-one and tailored to where you are. Choose a discipline or combine them — many students discover theory through the instrument they love.

🎹

Classical Piano

From first scales to advanced repertoire. Technique, sight-reading, posture, pedaling, and interpretation — built on a classical foundation that transfers to any style. Ilona's home instrument and deepest expertise.

All levels
🎸

Classical Guitar

The classical tradition on guitar — finger technique, notation reading, proper posture, and the repertoire from Sor to Villa-Lobos. A rigorous approach that unlocks the full expressive range of the instrument.

Beginner to intermediate
🎤

Voice

Breath support, resonance, range, and repertoire. Whether you're training for performance or simply want to sing with more confidence, vocal lessons build technique alongside artistry.

All levels
📝

Music Theory

The grammar of music — scales, intervals, chords, harmony, rhythm, and form. Learn to read, write, and understand the language that underlies every piece of music you'll ever play or hear.

Beginner to advanced
🎼

Composition

Turn ideas into music. Learn to structure melodies, develop motifs, work with harmony and form, and notate your own pieces. Whether you write for piano or want to score for multiple instruments.

Some theory recommended
🎵

Improvisation

Learn to play freely — in the moment, without the page. From classical ornamentation to jazz harmony to pure exploration, improvisation is the skill that makes music feel like your own language.

In Memory

Dawn Chorus

Thom Yorke · Parker's last song… March 2026

Back up the cul-de-sac
Come on, do your worst
You quit your job again
And your train of thought
If you could do it all again
A little fairy dust
A thousand tiny birds singing
If you must, you must
Please let me know
When you've had enough
Of the white light
Of the dawn chorus
If you could do it all again
You don't know how much
Pronto pronto
Moshi mosh
Come on, chop chop
If you could do it all again
Yeah, without a second thought
I don't like leaving
The door shut
I think I missed something
But I'm not sure what
In the middle of the vortex
The wind picked up
Shook up the soot
From the chimney pot
Into spiral patterns
Of you, my love
You take a little piece
Then you break it off
It's a bloody racket
It's the dawn chorus
If you could do it all again
Big deal, so what?
Please let me know
When you've had enough
It's the last chance
O.K. Corral
If you could do it all again
This time with style
