Teaching Philosophy

I’ve been blessed to have a long list of incredible teachers, mentors, and ensembles who have shared their wealth of knowledge with me. I know how powerful a teacher can be in changing one’s life, even if in little ways. I enjoy sharing my knowledge and coaching others towards their goals.

I use a combination of tools when teaching depending on the students interest. RCM exams can be a great tool, as is the Suzuki method and its books. I’m well versed in Western Classical music and can take a very traditional approach, or we can explore world music and learning by ear.

I lead fun, playful lessons with children. Teenagers and adults can expect the same level of energy, but less games and more jokes.

Musical Education

My classical musical education includes studies at the Royal Conservatory of Music for over 10 years, completion of RCM Viola Level 10, Music at Port Milford Chamber Music festival alumni, and Mooredale Senior Orchestra alumni.

Special Skills and Training

I have done extensive ethnomusicological work, specifically delving into Eastern European, and Klezmer music.

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).
