Teaching Philosophy

-- Lessons are student led and based on what a student's individual wants and needs are with their vocals. If a student comes to me with no previous vocal experience I do have to teach them the fundamentals and some foundational things first but after that it was on what topics you want to learn and what techniques you want to use and how you can adapt them to your voice. I want to help you have a variety of vocal tools to help you be the best vocalist you can be.

-- I teach Beginner to Advanced.

Musical Education

-- I have ten years of professional experience at shows and festivals in Canada and the UK including Rock The Mill, Warped Tour Toronto, and Montebello Rockfest, and Support for Silverstein, Counterfeit (Jamie Campbell-Bower from Stranger Things.)., and Bleak Soul. (UK.).).

Teaching Beginner to Advanced. (People who have never sang or screamed before all the way up to touring bands and public speakers.).

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).
