Teaching Philosophy

I believe that music is extremely important to everybody, not just professional musicians, It can be a therapy, a hobby or a stress relief activity. Learning an instrument can be helpful for motion skill, discipline and memory. During the class, we will cover all the aspect of the music practice, posture, interpretation, phrasing, technique etc. I also teach music theory and musical notation.

Musical Education

I have attended the following school earning the following degree:
- Conservatory of Tatui (Brazil) 9 years course

I have studied: Instrument Technique and Repertory, Music Theory, Choir, Harmony, Music History, Counterpoint and Analysis, with several different teachers.

I won the 2nd place in the internal classical guitar competition on the same conservatory.
I earned a scholarship from 2016 to 2018 to study and play at the classical guitar ensemble performing throughout the state of Sao Paulo

Awards and Distinctions

2nd Place - 5th Internal Guitar Completion of the Conservatory of Tatui in Brazil

Special Skills and Training

I have studied music since I was 13, and when I was 18 years old I was selected to study Classical Guitar at Conservatory of Tatui in Brazil, the biggest music school in Latin America.

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).
