Teaching Philosophy

Can learning piano be educational AND fun?

Absolutely! Not only is it a rewarding experience, but studies have shown that learning an instrument cultivates creativity and self-discipline, improves memory, and reduces stress. This is the kind of musical journey that I strive to embark on with all my students.

I have over 5 years of experience teaching students of all ages, ranging from 4-year-olds to adults, and I take great joy in helping them grow their love and understanding of music and flourish as pianists. My lessons are adapted to each student's goals and needs, whether geared towards high level proficiency and exams, or learning to play for fun and casually. I look forward to meeting and working with you and/or your child.

Musical Education

I'm a classically trained pianist through the Royal Conservatory of Music (RCM) and have my Associate of Royal Conservatory of Toronto (ARCT) Diploma in Piano Performance. I'm also a full member of the Alberta Registered Music Teacher's Association, which have great resources and opportunities for my students and also provide ongoing professional development for music teachers. I also have almost a decade of experience as a choir accompanist.

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).
