Teaching Philosophy

I believe that music is a tool for creativity, healing, and so much more. My goal is to help students feel confident in their instruments and use them as a way to express themselves. You can expect me to be kind, knowledgeable, fun, and patient as your music teacher. I have had many life-long students and I believe that is because I structure my lessons to each student's needs.

Musical Education

I earned my Bachelor of Music with Honours from Humber College specializing in the Voice. My main teachables are voice, guitar, piano, songwriting and theory.

Aside from being a professional music educator, I am a full-time R&B artist in the music industry. Highlights of my career include performing for President Barack Obama, The Invictus Games, Canadian Week, as well as being awarded Canada's Top Artist for Social Change. I acted, performed, and composed music for Tiff 2021's feature film 'Learn to Swim' with BADBADNOTGOOD and my piece was submitted to the Canadian Screen Awards. My music is produced by Mark Pelli (Chris Brown, Shakira, Trey Songz), I am managed by Nova Music Group, and distributed by AWAL.

My music has been playlisted on Amazon's "The High End" in 15 different countries as well as Spotify's New Music Friday, Mood Ring, Fresh Finds, and more. I am releasing my debut EP Fall 2022.

Awards and Distinctions

My original song about mental health called "You Can," awarded me the title of "Top Artist for Social Change in Canada" in 2021. Judges included Tegan and Sara, Director X, the Queen Priyanka, and more.

My original song called "Complicated, which was composed alongside Toronto's renowned band BADBADNOTGOOD for the TIFF's film "Learn to Swim" was submitted to the 2022 Canadian Screen Awards.

Special Skills and Training

I was fortunate to grow up in a musical family. One of my grandfathers was a professional saxophonist who toured with his big band and my other grandfather was a professional jazz guitarist. I am grateful for how my family has always supported my musical journey and my own dreams. I specialize in teaching voice, guitar, piano, songwriting, and theory. Many of my students love taking lessons with me because they can learn how to play more than one instrument at the same time. I also love giving the students the tools they need to write their own songs. My students have gotten into music programs including Berklee, University of Toronto, Humber College, Carlton University, Cawthra Park, Etobicoke School of the Arts, and more. I am confident in prepping my students for performances, exams, and programs.

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).
