Teaching Philosophy

As a teacher I am motivated to share my love of music. By helping my students to acquire a strong foundation of music theory and technique, they will learn to continue their studies independently and to be creative and flourish musically. Working through the fundamentals clearly will allow students to quickly make musical discoveries that otherwise could take years to understand. Studying classical music is a great way to build a strong foundation. By spreading my love of music, I am adding a part of myself to the collective wealth of artistic expression and knowledge that has allowed us humans to understand the universe and ourselves within. Simply, there is nothing that I think is more important than sharing art and music.

Musical Education

I am currently studying classical guitar at Brock University. I am in my third year of a Bachelor of music program, with a concentration in performance. For a number of years I have studied with the world renowned classical guitarist, conductor, and composer, Timothy Phelan. I come from a direct lineage of teachers connected to Andrea Segovia.

Special Skills and Training

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).
