ABOUT

Ian Aisling is a multidimensional talent within the world of music creation and performance. Hailing from Hamilton Ontario, Canada, he is a formally trained jazz pianist and skilled piano technician whose work lives at the crossroads of composition, improvisation, piano care, and creative education. Whether crafting original scores, performing to a live audience, fine-tuning a grand, or guiding the next generation of producers, his career is a natural extension of his deep musical curiosity and hands-on expertise.

As a composer, Ian’s collective of original music, film scores, productions, and mixes have been enjoyed by millions across the world; be it through films, chart topping pop songs and various media outlets. Hundreds of Ian’s original compositions are available for sync licensing through various partners around the globe. His complete portfolio of works can be found here.

As a performing artist, Ian is often found delighting others with his solo piano performances, covering a massive range of genres and improvised melodies. As of 2024, Ian secured a residence at the Collective Arts Brewery in Hamilton, providing free solo piano music for attendees every week. He also frequently joins the stage with Hamilton’s invigorating alternative funk band Junestone as their keyboard player, which has been going strong since 2018.

As a piano technician, Ian embarked on a journey to learn professional piano tuning and maintenance practices after discovering there were far too many uncared for pianos in the world. He graduated from the International Piano Technicians School in 2023 — a remarkably succinct and well structured piano technician’s course designed by Mark Cerisano — and now confidently tunes and services several pianos across the Hamilton, Halton & Niagara regions of Ontario, Canada.

As an educator, Ian has been providing private music lessons to piano students since 2018, and private music production lessons since 2022. His teaching philosophy stems from a combination of positive reinforcement, mindfulness, and balancing creative & logical thinking, all while adapting his teaching strategies to be unique per student. Ian has taught thousands of one-on-one lessons and continues to grow alongside his students as a lifelong ambassador for the wonders of music. He currently offers one-on-one video lessons for composers seeking to refine their creative process, be it through their DAW, traditional notation or any other medium.
