Teaching Philosophy

Music has been an innate part of my life, from playing an instrument to music production. It has been a constant since the age of 12, contributing to my spirituality and personal growth.

My mission as a teacher is to inspire and encourage my students to fearlessly follow their passion for music. With this in mind, I structure my lessons to be an enjoyable, stress-free experience while they continue to progress as musicians.

Musical Education

I have a UK BTEC Higher National Diploma which includes Music Theory.

I studied both bass and guitar privately from the ages of 12 to 22.
One of my teachers was Tom Hancock from Berklee College of Music, who gave me extensive knowledge in theory and technique.
I have many years of experience in music production, performance and composition from working as a sound engineer and playing in numerous bands. I have taught guitar for 5 years to students ranging from ages 7-60.

Special Skills and Training

I have extensive experience playing in bands that have toured and recorded based in South Africa, New York, Vancouver and Montreal. I currently run my own recording studio and record my own music as well as that of local bands.

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).
