Teaching Philosophy

For more information, Please visit wendyshih.com

Throughout my 15+ years as an educator, it's been my steadfast belief to pass on my passion, skills, and perspective to the next generation. I'm deeply intrigued by understanding the needs of both students and parents. My lifelong mission is to popularize music education and culture while giving back to the community.

My role extends beyond training students in performance, technique, notation, and musical perception. I also equip them with knowledge, understanding, and creativity. My goal is to ensure their success in music exams, assessments, auditions, and competitions. I approach this with unwavering enthusiasm and a can-do attitude.

A special aspect of my teaching is gathering my young and senior students for unique opportunities at least once or twice a year. These occasions allow them to showcase their hard work in public settings. This approach results in rapid improvement and heightened interest in learning the Cello, as they thrive on the challenges presented.

My commitment lies in sharing my passion, nurturing students' growth, and fostering a community of dedicated musicians.

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).
