Teaching Philosophy

I recognize that each student is unique and has their own learning style, abilities, and musical interests. Therefore, I tailor my teaching methods and materials to fit the individual needs of each student. Additionally, since happiness and play are crucial components of effective learning at any age, I foster a supportive and encouraging environment that inspires students to explore and experiment with their musical abilities. I praise effort and progress, celebrate achievements, and provide constructive feedback that helps the student improve. Furthermore, a strong foundation in technique and theory is essential for a student to develop into a proficient pianist. I also emphasize the importance of proper hand positioning, finger dexterity, rhythm, and note-reading skills from the very beginning.

Musical Education

I studied piano from the age of 3, and it has been a 27-year journey until now. I obtained my certificate in Grade 8 Piano from The Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music, UK, in 2010. One of my favorite experiences was performing in a music concert in front of thousands of people at the Hong Kong landmark.

Special Skills and Training

I worked as a music teacher at a music center in Hong Kong for the last two years. I have experience working with children by organizing summer workshops and teaching extracurricular music courses for children at kindergarten. I have also worked as a private piano teacher for more than two years. Now, I am studying for a diploma in early childhood education, and I have experience working in a childcare center. These experiences have enriched me as both a teacher and a professional child caregiver, providing a high-quality piano teaching experience to children, even the young ones.

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).
