Teaching Philosophy

I believe that the job of a music teacher is to create a learning environment that is fun, one where the students feel like what they are learning would help them to reach their goals. Each lesson is tailored to the unique needs and interests of the student, so no lesson is exactly the same.
As a musician to me to learn and develop a true passion for Cello is to:
- Make your day be bright
- A Daily celebration of all that is YOU
- The musical delights of playing Cello
- Music is the foundation of cultures
- Start where you can, start with what you do everyday

Musical Education

I have attended the following schools earning the following degrees:
- Master of Music Degree at Tashkent Stated Conservatory (University
-Bachelor of Music at the Stated College of Music in Tashkent
- I have completed a Master Class at Moscow State Conservatory

Special Skills and Training

I have participated in various orchestras for over 20 years. One of the most enriching experiences is my participation in the Kindered Spirits Orchestra in Markham, ON. It is a very unique place where we empower young musicians by performing with them and acting as role models in the world of music.

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).
