Teaching Philosophy

Music is a tool to have with you in all areas of life. Being a musician does not only apply to music, but in the way you think and view the world. From a creative aspect, music allows us to find new ways of expressing ourselves, while having an endless desire to expand our knowledge.

I've always liked to understand why someone wants to learn music, in order to understand why they lean towards a certain instrument. With that information, I can guide them through their musical journey. It is much easier to help a student grow and stay motivated, when they are inspired to play the music that is being taught.

Musical Education

I started taking music lessons as a child, all the way to university. I started out with piano and then decided to learn guitar and vocals. I completed the Royal Conservatory of Music grade 8 course with Unison Piano, along with The Standard Guitar Method grade 9.

Special Skills and Training

Since 2015, I have been teaching private lessons. To this day, I continue with my own compositions and live performances, along with a teaching schedule full of students at different levels.

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).
