YouTube will teach for about an initial 5-10 seconds of your advertisement consumption time and possibly more if the ad intrigues you. Or, you can download AdBlock and be taught for free.
I don't know if you're still searching but I have the RCM Elementary and Intermediate Piano Pedagogy certificates. I'm also looking to take linguistics and mandarin courses in the future so this is like a perfect match for me~
Depends on where the piano lessons will take place though. Does SFU have any practice rooms?
@Anonchan There are pianos in several places at SFU. One used to be in Images Theatre I think but there is definitely one in that room by the MBC, beside the coffee shop and also in another room somewhere but I forgot where it was!!!
Images Theater has one but that belongs to the SFU choir, should probably ask permission to use it, I think you can book that room too
Education building has a piano in the upper floor, 9000 lvl I think although you shouldn't play on that one cuz it's beside the offices and there's a grand and an upright in the 7000 lvl
There's a piano that belongs to someone, you should ask for permission to use this one, or so I was told, it's in the lecture room closest to the main bus loop in blusson hall, beneath the main floor.
In-person, the first lessons will be a waste for you without self-study first. It's like taking a course in poetry before learning how to read.
You have to learn to read staffs and study chords and stuff.
For me it was basically studying by myself for 3-6 months till the teacher was able to start doing lessons. I was a kid, though, so it may be quicker for you.
