Teaching Philosophy

Each student is on his or her own journey as a musician and violinist. Everyone is different and unique in experience; body type, skill and etc, therefore teaching methods are based on the individual's needs and not a uniformed idea of teaching. Pieces, provided technical studies and scales will be used to help guide them along this path. Alongside the violin, theory may be taught so that the student will grow as a musician as well as a violinist.

Musical Education

I have a Bachelor of Music Performance degree from McGill University's. My teacher was the concertmaster of the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra and a member of the Saint Lawrence String Quartet.

I have performed with many orchestras around Canada including the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony Orchestra, Appassionata Chamber Orchestra, Laval Symphony Orchestra, Les Grands Ballets Canadiens de Montreal and Trois-Rivières Symphony Orchestra. I had the privilege of performing in the 30th Anniversary Concert of Cirque du Soleil, Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses twice with the Vancouver Film Orchestra, Michael Buble’s Crazy Love album, as well as in concert with Il Divo. In April 2013, Kenny performed the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto with the Richmond Orchestra and has performed as a soloist with the Vancouver Metropolitan Orchestra on several occasions.

I also completed my ARCT Diploma from the Royal Conservatory of Music and have been teaching for 18 years.

Policies


1. Cancellation Policy

Lessons not cancelled or rescheduled with at least 24 hours notice are billable to the client and payable to the teacher. This does not of course apply to travel fees unless the notice is effectively given at the door and the teacher has travelled to the location.

2. Cessation (quitting) Policy

A client must provide a 2 lesson notice period to stop lessons. So a weekly student needs to give 2 weeks of notice, a biweekly student works out to 3 weeks notice and a twice weekly student works out to a week of notice.

3. Illness Policy

Lessons cancelled due to illness or extraordinary circumstances with less than 24 hours notice remain billable to the client and payable to the teacher.

BAH teachers are encouraged to offer a make-up lesson at a future date in the interest of client relations and general goodwill. This only makes sense as teaching a student with the flu for example, will ruin the rest of your week's employment.

No more than 2 lessons may be made up due to illness within a 60 day period.

4. Rescheduling Policy

Any lesson can be cancelled or rescheduled with at least 24 hours notice.

Summer Vacation and Extended Absence Policy

Clients may schedule longer absences for trips etc. 24 hours notice is required.

It is normal and typical for students and about 20% of our teachers to schedule a break in the summer. We do not enforce a notice period (see cessation of lessons) at the end of a long summer break.

5. Evaluation Period

There are no free trial lessons with Beethoven at Home but we do offer a 2 lesson evaluation period where it is easy to try out a teacher. There are no free lessons during the evaluation period and clients may choose to discontinue the lessons at any time by providing the required 24 hours notice. After the student's 3rd lesson the required 2 lesson notice period will apply (see cessation of lessons above).
