Teaching Philosophy

With the philosophy of the Suzuki Method, I specialize at arousing the early childhood students' interest and assisting them to start learning violin early. The Suzuki Method emphasizes hearing and posture, rather than reading music sheets which caused lots of problems for younger students.

I can conduct exam-oriented training, but also leisure-style classes, cultivating students' interest in music and violin by playing well-known pieces, pop/ cinematic songs, and duets as well as having fun in the lessons.

Musical Education

I have
- graduated as Bachelor of Music Education in the Hong Kong University of Educaition,
- been selected to play in the Master Class held by Takako Nishizaki(西崎崇子) in the college
- got 10+ years of experience teaching in music centers, primary/secondary schools and kindergarten.

Awards and Distinctions

Performance-wise, I have been selected to play in the Master Class held by Takako Nishizaki(西崎崇子) in the college. Accompanying for many HK pop singers in concerts, like CAllStar, 呂方, 蘇永康, etc., I have also arranged some of the music in their concerts. In addition, I have plenty of experience playing violin, duets, quartets on HK ratios or TVs, like TVB, ATV, the HK ratio, HK Commerical ratio.

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).
