Teaching Philosophy

Music is a part of everyone. As well as society! Without it, all our lives would be bland and boring. Music brings life to humanity, and thus is an important skill to work hard alongside. Music is not about how fast or slow you can play a piece, but the value it brings to you, and the audience you perform for. Music can be for you, but is for others, little do we know is that we are a part of the others as well. Everyone is capable of this

Musical Education

I am almost done my Bcahelor of music in performance from the university of Ottawa! I am a composer, conductor, violinist and violist. I have had the pleasure of performing at the NAC, Quebec symphony, Ottawa symphony and Oakville symphony (for a mix of conducting and Viola). I will be pursuing my masters on viola next year, and then a doctorate as well

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).
