Teaching Philosophy

Even the best in their fields have mentor. Whether it'd be Roger Federer, Bill Gates they all had mentor behind their success. I believe it is important that I provide the tools for the student to easily pursue their music at the end of each lesson. Improving and learning requires dedication and solitude which could be stressful on students. It is my job as an instructor to ease the student and motivate the student in feeling joy from their accomplishments.

Musical Education

I have attended following schools for following degrees.
-University of Michigan - Master of Music
-Musicians Institute - Bachelor of Music
-Shanghai American School - Highschool

I have BA in guitar performance from musicians institute where I was taught how basic foundation in music and guitar. Furthermore I worked there as a teacher's assistant.
Afterwards, I attended University of Michigan for my masters. During then I focused on jazz improvisation to dig deeper in learning how improvisation is not only a fun tool for music but how it could aid in one's creativity and composition.

Special Skills and Training

Many musicians tend to solely devote themselves into improving on their musical instruments and their musician ship. I was the same until I learned about streaming. Besides music, I had a passion for entertaining other people which led me to pursue career in streaming as well. Through online streaming, I learned ways to be humble yet provide humor for viewers.

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).
