Teaching Philosophy

I am so grateful for the opportunities I have been given in my journey of studying music and I would not have been able to come this far if it wasn't for the care and love I received from my teachers and professors. Music is such a beautiful and precious art form, especially when growing up. As a teacher, I aim to inspire my students as I have been and feel honoured to be apart of their musical journey. Especially as a beginner, the teachers you have set the path of not only success but fostering a love of music. This is a role I would take very seriously as I know how impactful studying music can be.

Musical Education

I am currently studying at the University of Toronto, working to complete my Bachelor of music. My studies have included performance in masterclasses, study of music education, and work in ensembles.
I have been studying music since the age of three, beginning with piano and have now been studying and performing on the flute for 8 years.

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).
