Teaching Philosophy

I believe that music education should be enjoyable and engaging while maintaining a focused and customized approach to teaching and learning. Each of my lessons is tailored to the individual student, ensuring a 100% personalized experience that cultivates unique skills and allows for learning at one's own pace.

I offer guidance in various aspects of music, including music theory, technique, sound quality refinement, ear training, repertoire selection, notation reading, singing technique, and the development of the ability to sing and play simultaneously.

Musical Education

I started bassoon at 7 years old, and studied my bachelors at the Music Faculty of the UNAM, in Mexico. Then I finished a master's degree at the Music Faculty of the University of Montreal, where I'm currently porsuing a Doctorate degree.
I've learned with great bassoonists as Mathieu Lussier, Martin Mangrum, David Ball, Nadina Jackson, Francisco Formiga, in between others.

Awards and Distinctions

I won the first Tango Contest, organized by Anselma Veit and Bernd Moosmann in 2021.

Special Skills and Training

I have 23 years of experience in the musical field, and I've had the opportunity to learn from different teachers in different countries and with different teaching methods, and that's why my love and vision for music has growth and developed. Have a lot of theory education learned in school, but also lots of performing hours that have enriched me as musician, artist, and person.

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).
