Teaching Philosophy

Hard work and having faith in yourself are essential elements of successful learning, and I make certain that students learn without a lot of stress and anxiety. Adult students can expect the same support and respect as the youngest child. I am always there for my students if they need help, and they will always be motivated and enjoy learning piano with me.

Musical Education

I have attended the following schools earning the following degrees/diplomas:

- Hong Kong Baptist University - Master of Arts in Music with Distinction
- The Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music - Grade 8 in Music Theory
- Trinity College London - ATCL Diploma

I studied piano from the age of seven until the age of eighteen. My piano teacher was from Poland and she was a concert pianist. The training that I underwent was rigorous and detailed.

Special Skills and Training

I studied the course "Introduction to Music Theory" at HKU Space in 2021. Apart from playing piano, I am keen to know how music works in the healthcare industry and how it improves human wellbeings.

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).
