Teaching Philosophy

For me, music and teaching are all about balance. It's a blend of discipline and enjoyment. Both the teacher and the student need to put in their best efforts. It's a two-way street, not just the responsibility of the teacher. It's about sharing, maintaining a positive attitude, exercising patience, and embracing the love for music, regardless of your situation or age.

Musical Education

I have attended the following schools earning the following degrees:
- Musical diploma conservatoire of Rouen, France
- Musical diploma, conservatoire of Boulogne-Billancourt, France
- Licentiate of Music, conservatoire of Montreal
- Master with distinction, conservatoire of Montreal
- Diplôme de perfectionnement, conservatoire of Montreal
My principal teachers included Marianne Dugal, Anne Robert, Johanne Arel, Raymond Dessaints, David stewart, Marcelle Mallette, Paul Zafer, Claude Richard, Rollo Kovac, Claire Bernard, Christophe Poiget, Jane Peters.
During my years in Montreal, I had the opportunity to accompany Robert Charlebois in one orchestra, to play at the final of the Voice Quebec in 2020 and to perform to under the baton of multiple conductors such as Yannick Nézet-Séguin, Vasily Petrenko and Yoav Talmi.

Special Skills and Training

What I love as a musician, it's that everything is good for inspiration. I learn and I am very interested for many things, as cooking, baking, sports, yoga and meditation. All of these requires 3 things; patience, technique and an personal touch!

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).
