Teaching Philosophy

I teach music with a firm belief that everyone can develop their musical abilities, because music is part of who we are as human beings. Therefore, the teaching environment must be motivating, challenging and playful.

Musical Education

Equipped with the didactic tools that make teaching music a pleasure.
I studied both voice and piano since 12 years old.
My preparation has always been oriented toward Pop music and Christian contemporary music, with various teaching experiences in the church, social projects and private schools.
Recently, I did a specialization in Music Education at Claretiano School - São Paulo (Brazil). And now I am in Music Industry Program at Centennial College.

Special Skills and Training

I grew up surrounded by music, my parents always appreciated music and encouraged me. The church also played an important role in my musical education, enabling me to work with piano and keyboard accompaniment, vocal groups, band, choir and participation in workshops that contributed to my preparation as a music teacher and professional.

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).
