Teaching Philosophy

I strongly believe that music should be fun and engaging, and I will always strive to structure our guitar lessons around your musical interests and goals. Within those parameters we will focus on developing technique, theory knowledge, and improvisation skills as we work together to increase your confidence on the instrument.

Musical Education

I have taken many years of private guitar and piano instruction and I have now been playing guitar for over 14 years. I recently graduated the Independent Performance and Songwriting program at Seneca College. I have also completed courses in Basic Harmony and Advanced Rudiments from the Royal Conservatory of Music.

Special Skills and Training

I was was immersed in music from an early age, taking piano and guitar lessons throughout my youth. In later years my musical pursuits led to my involvement in many projects - several rock bands, a jazz quartet, an acoustic guitar duo, to name a few - gigging at various venues, restaurants, weddings, and corporate events. This experience exposed me to a wide array of genres and styles which have all served as great influences to my playing over the years.

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).
