Teaching Philosophy

Music has been an essential part of my life for as long as I can remember. When I was just three years old, I was mesmerized by a pianist's performance at a church, and that's when my love affair with music began. Singing songs at home and in church further solidified my connection to music. My dream was always to share this profound love with others, and that's why I pleaded with my mother to let me learn the piano. After five years of persistent requests, she finally gave in, and I attended my very first piano lesson.

My passion for music only grew stronger over the years, leading me to pursue it as my undergraduate study. Music became more than just a hobby; it became a way of life for me.

Now, as a teacher, I'm eager to share this passion with my students. I firmly believe that music is not only about entertainment; it plays a vital role in nurturing our creativity, intellect, and emotions. By teaching music, I hope to be a part of my students' personal growth and development.

Musical Education

I have attended the following schools earning the following degrees:
- University of Victoria - Bachelor of Music
- Capilano University - Conducting Certificate
- Capilano University - Music Diploma
My principal teachers included Rudy Rozanski and Bruce Vogt.

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).
