Teaching Philosophy

I believe that anyone can play violin or any instrument, music is a right to every person in this beautiful world. It doesn’t matter if you are playing just for fun or you are pursuing a career in music I will guide you towards your goal. I also believe that a teaching approach should be tailor made to each individual and always done with a courteous, respectful way. I’m more than glad to work with anyone that is interested in learning the instrument, any age, any moment is a good time to start learning.

Musical Education

I have graduated with the highest score of my generation from the following institutions in Mexico:

-Centro Mexicano de Posgrado en Musica (Mexican Centre for Music Postgraduate studies): Masters in Music, Violin Performance and interpretation (2019)
-Universidad Veracruzana (University of Veracruz): Bachelor in Music with a concentration in violin (2014)
I’m currently attending Brandon University in Canada to pursue a second M.Mus in Literature and performance. (2023-2025)

I started my musical studies at the age of 3 years old and formal musical education with violin in the University of Veracruz Children Program (CIMI) at the age of 8.

Special Skills and Training

I have worked with children from ages 6 to 12 as well as teenagers during my stay at the Boca del Río philharmonic children’s program “orquestando armonía” and during my time as Violin Teacher with the University of Veracruz children’s program (CIMI). I’m used to individual assessment as well as working with groups of children. I have been a professional violinist for 9 years, working with 2 professional orchestras, I can coach you to pursue Auditions to either summer program orchestras and professional orchestras. I also give lessons to 50+ years old beginners, there is no age limit for learning the violin.

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).
