Teaching Philosophy

I strongly believe in the power of intrinsic motivation in the learning process. To achieve this, I prioritize creating engaging and enjoyable lessons for my students. My primary goal as a piano teacher is to make the study of piano and music playing a fulfilling and fun experience for each individual. By fostering a love for music and providing an enjoyable learning environment, I aim to inspire my students to reach their full potential on their musical journey.

Musical Education

I am a classically trained musician, deeply committed to nurturing musical talents. My own piano journey was guided by a renowned pianist, Wing-Chong Kam, who graduated from Yale School of Music, who, in turn, was mentored by the distinguished pianist Boris Berman.

I hold an impressive array of qualifications from esteemed institutions:

1) Master of Arts in Music Education from The Education University of Hong Kong.
2) Licentiate of Trinity College London (LTCL) Piano Recital with Distinction from Trinity College London.
3) Professional Diploma in Performance Practice (Piano) with Merit from The Chinese University of Hong Kong.

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).
