Teaching Philosophy

My musical journey has allowed me to learn, experience, and appreciate vast and various musical cultures. This has been an invaluable experience, allowing me to understand so much more from the pedagogical point of view about music education and natural human responses towards learning. I believe in giving each student equal attention and observation of their work, a chance to present their music to the class as their audience, to reflect upon, provide feedback, and improve the quality of the lectures by giving positive feedback and criticism.

Musical Education

– Doctoral Student in Orchestral Conducting (DMus), Université de Montreal (Ongoing)
– Doctor of Musical Arts (DMA) in Composition, College-Conservatory of Music, University of Cincinnati (2005)
– Master of Music in Composition, College-Conservatory of Music, University of Cincinnati (2003)
– Associate Diploma, Piano Performance, Trinity College of London (1996)

Special Skills and Training

I trained as a composer, classical and contemporary jazz pianist, and improviser. I have lived and worked in many places and countries, both in the East and in the West. I also worked for many years as a teacher to young students at the preparatory department.

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).
