Teaching Philosophy

As a flute teacher I realize each student is unique and I try my best to bring out their strengths and work through their difficulties. I emphasize the importance of posture and hand position to prevent injury and focus on effective and efficient practicing.

Musical Education

In 2014 I graduated with a Bachelor of Music Therapy degree from Wilfrid Laurier University. In 2010 I had the privilege to attend the Scottish International Flute Summer School in Scotland where I took part in masterclasses and was inspired by flutists such as Peter Lloyd, Ian Clarke and Wissam Boustany.

Throughout university I did volunteer teaching placements and taught flute during the summers. In the music therapy program I worked with children and the elderly to reach their goals in music therapy

Special Skills and Training

For three years I was Associate Principal flute of the Kindred Spirits Orchestra in Markham, ON. I have played in the Wilfrid Laurier Wind Orchestra, the Kitchener/Waterloo Youth Orchestra, the Brock University Wind Ensemble, and the Niagara Youth Orchestra.

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).
