Teaching Philosophy

My approach to teaching is about finding out what the students want, and I am happy to help them to get there. If the student wants to be a professional musician, I will help them to achieve the goal, like being a solo, chamber, or orchestral member, and we can discuss what level you are pursuing. For those who seek music simply out of joy and fun, I will help them to achieve their own goals, like playing some music they like.

Joy and play are essential as details of successful learning at any age. Violin lessons should be a fun and enjoyable experience. With patience and consistent practice, we will get improve and build up the foundation every single day.

Special Skills and Training

I am happy to share my experience with all of my students. In the past 20 years, I have learned from different teachers that inspired me to be a professional violin teacher. I had some experience in orchestra, chamber, and solo performances, and I can teach all ages who are willing to be a violinist.

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).
