Teaching Philosophy

I believe that anyone and everyone is capable of creating great music. From kids to adults, we all have our own strengths and that's what we should focus on. I want to get to know you and teach in a way that makes sense to you because we all learn in different ways. I have had very strict teachers growing up, but I believe that we can achieve excellence while having fun.

Whether you wish to complete RCM levels or just play your favourite soundtracks, I want help you reach your goal. Sometimes all we need is someone who believes in us.

Musical Education

I began piano when I was 7 and completed my ARCT at the Royal Conservatory of music when I was 15. I am currently doing my BA in music at the University of Toronto. I have studied with piano teachers that come from all around the world including Vienna and Shanghai. They taught me great technique, but more important how to love and appreciate music. I have accompanied numerous solo performances including voice, violin, as well as full orchestra. One of my favourite experiences was being the piano accompaniment for the Wind Ensemble at the University of Toronto.

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).
