Teaching Philosophy

Music has the potential to enrich lives, and a happy foundation will create a happy outlook on lessons - Finding self-motivation and dedication from the right teacher!

Musical Education

I have a Bmus in Music Education (main instrument: voice) from Western University, which included beginner theory methods such as Orff,and Kodaly, as well as music education history and theory classes.

I have a large repertoire of beginner music lessons, teaching the basics of theory and musicianship to young ones looking for a class before the 1st instrument!

My main instrument is voice (intermediate level), and I am also comfortable teaching beginner piano and saxophone. I am self-taught on the ukulele and also a lyricist/songwriter for those with pop star songwriting interest!

Special Skills and Training

Being involved in choirs throughout high school taught me community. Going into my solo singing career was so much easier knowing I have the choice to sing whatever and with whoever - my possibilities are endless with the voice as an instrument. I involve myself heavily into drama/the arts/musical theatre and singing for the sake of it. Find a passion and get started!

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).
