Teaching Philosophy

From my point of view, music is about experiences and passion; as long as you find the joyfulness in playing music, you can create a valuable piece of art. However, not everyone feels comfortable when they first play an instrument and I am really happy to ignite the music excitement for my students. As an experienced teacher, I understand that everyone has a different approach to music and so is their musical personality. It is similar to " fingerprints " because no one has the same thing, right? And that is the main reason why I really enjoy teaching music to people.

In 2014, I am proud to be one of three contestants that represent Vietnam to perform in the Tarrega International Classical guitar festival. Besides, I am also one of the former members in the Vietnamese classical guitar orchestra. In 2019, I established a band, which was broadcast on the national television channel and recognized as one of the promising indie 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).
