Teaching Philosophy

‘Interest is the best teacher’. More than five years’ study of Vocal Music at both Brandon University and Western University has increased my knowledge of music performance. With a solid foundation for vocal music and music theory, I am now eager to consolidate gain more working opportunities to help more students find their interests in music.

Special Skills and Training

I have been exposed to music since childhood. My mother likes singing. Under her influence, I developed an interest in vocal music and learned to play the piano and flute at an early age. My school life was rich and colourful, and I often joined in various art performing festivals, recitals and operas. Every time I sang or danced, I felt that I loved the stage and hoped to have more performance chances. After I got degrees in universities, the education and performance experience enriched me both as a performer and teacher. I am passionate to work as a music teacher and a singer in my future life.

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).
