Teaching Philosophy

Music learning begins and becomes optimal when I take the initiative to establish good teacher-student rapport. I believe that building a strong, positive, and professional relationship with the student allows the student to be comfortable during music lessons. To me, building a student’s trust is by far the most fundamental to my being. Guided by my belief to establish and constantly maintain a strong and healthy teacher-student relationship, a safe learning space is thus created. The safe learning space encourages students to dare to make attempts and to dare to make mistakes, as learning through making mistakes is what helps students to grasp hold of a musical skill or concept.

To sustain and spur interest in music, I see myself as a motivating resourceful teacher who injects enjoyment, fun, and purposeful music tasks that target at helping students attain both general and specific musical knowledge and skills. Enjoyment, creativity, and the freedom to explore musical expression are essential elements of successful music learning at any age. After all, can music be truly be deemed as music if a student laments engaging with it?

Musical Education

I have attended the following schools earning the following degrees:
1) The University of British Columbia - Master of Music Education; 2) East China Normal University - Bachelor of Arts: Music Education; 3) Shanghai Conservatory of Music - Piano Advanced Studies: Piano Performance.

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).
