Teaching Philosophy

I believe that each student is unique and there is no single style of teaching that fits all individuals. When teaching, I aim to guide students towards a solution rather than simply present an answer. I encourage students to listen to professional recordings, recitals, and performances so that they could learn from these music and think about how they could build their own music style.

I have many experiences to teach kids and adults, and share the passion and love of music teaching to them.

Musical Education

I have attended the following schools earning the following degrees:
- University of Victoria- Master of Music
- University of Victoria - Bachelor of Music
- Shanghai Normal University - Bachelor of Arts
My principal teachers included Suzanne Snizek and Qi Wang.

Awards and Distinctions

Quebec International Music Competition- Platinum Prize in Professional Division
China Art Recommended Competition- First Prize in Senior Division

Special Skills and Training

I have been an orchestral player for 5 years, and I could teach orchestral excerpts during the lessons. Additionally, I teach RCM exams in Vancouver , and my students have great grades on RCM flute certificates.

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).
