Teaching Philosophy

I am a patient and enthusiastic teacher who is dedicated to helping my students reach their full potential. I utilize a variety of teaching methods and techniques to ensure that each student learns in a way that best suits their individual needs. As a teacher I want my students to be happy after every lesson, that's why I try to find ways to build effective practice habits, coach them on excellent technique, and music analysis and appreciation.

Musical Education

In addition to my teaching experience, I have three degrees, masters, bachelor, and specialist from Ukraine in Music Art, Ethics, Esthetics: Piano Teacher, Concertmaster, and Ensemble Performance.

Awards and Distinctions

I started playing the piano at the age of 6 and since then it has become my passion. After school, I decided to pursue a career in music and I began my study in Ukraine. I have three degrees, masters, bachelor, and specialist from Ukraine in Music Art, Ethics, Esthetics:
Piano Teacher, Concertmaster, and Ensemble Performance.

Special Skills and Training

I have been teaching piano for the past 13 years, and during that time I have worked with students from all ages, levels and backgrounds.

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).
