Teaching Philosophy

Music is who I am. Since I can remember, music has been the saving grace behind everything in my life and has guided me through some of the most challenging times. I am a firm believer that anyone can be a musician. We all can create sound, follow a rhythm, and explore the rich history behind music. Music training is one of the most enriching things any individual can do. It opens the mind to new opportunities and fosters a safe place through art.

One of my most important principles is kindness. Kindness is one of the most important things, and treating others with respect can do wonders. Music and compassion work together to create a sense of love, curiosity, and discovery. My goal is to treat everyone with as much kindness as possible. And hopefully, they will do the same to others in their communities.

Musical Education

I have attended the following schools:
- Sheridan College - Bachelor of Music Theatre Performance (specializing in commercial pop performance)
- Various vocal and music coaches in both British Columbia and Ontario

Other:
- I have studied music, dance, and acting since I was eight years old
- I have worked professionally in the theatre industry and am a member of Actors Equity
- I am also a director and choreographer for high school theatre

Awards and Distinctions

Vocalist of the year.

Special Skills and Training

I spent my childhood writing music with my mother, and have studied theatre since a young age. I have trained in various acting techniques too.

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).
