Teaching Philosophy

Music is my passion and guiding force. As a teacher, I create a nurturing environment where every student's unique musical journey is celebrated. I believe in fostering joy, curiosity, and creativity in learning, empowering students to find their authentic musical voice. Together, we embark on a journey of discovery, growth, and expression through the transformative power of music.

Musical Education

I have attained proficiency in piano through the following examinations:
- ABRSM Piano Grade 8
- ABRSM Theory Grade 5
- LCM Diploma

Special Skills and Training

I have had the privilege of participating in mini-concerts and local piano competitions, showcasing my performance skills and musical expression in live settings. Additionally, I've received private mentorship from 2 different piano institutes in advanced piano techniques. I hold Diploma LCM and Grade 8 ABRSM, emphasizing holistic music education. My experience as a sound designer for theatre productions also enriches my teaching by bridging music, storytelling, and performance. I have also helped students prepare for their RCM Examinations. These diverse experiences enhance my ability to create engaging and immersive learning environments for students of all ages and levels.

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).
