Teaching Philosophy

Music has been a huge part of my life since I was a child. I would wake up every morning to my mom playing the piano or my dad jamming to music through his speakers bright and early. I believe that music has the capability to bring people of all kinds together and bring joy and harmony into everyone's lives.

I believe that anybody, of any age, is capable of creating music and playing music beautifully. I will support and guide musicians of all levels to reach their optimal goals and shape them into becoming the best musician they can be.

Musical Education

I am currently enrolled at the University of Toronto majoring in Psychology with a minor in music studies.
I studied piano from the age of three until the age of seventeen and I was the main percussionist throughout elementary until high school. My teachers and mentors were classically and professionally trained by professors from the University of Toronto. I've been in multiple musical ensembles, additionally, I also play for my local church with other members as singers as well.

Special Skills and Training

For a huge part of my life, I've been playing piano professionally as well as for leisure in my spare time. I spent a lot of time with my teachers, watching them go from teaching at home to having their own music studios and eventually, I was even invited to become a teacher for her studio as the number of students she had kept growing. Since then, I have been teaching piano for over 3 years now and I couldn't be any happier. I've been professionally trained by RCM instructors and educators as well as music ensemble conductors since the age of 5 and I wish to share my skills and passion for music with all my future students.

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).
