Teaching Philosophy

I made the choice to pursue a career in music because I love it. I have heard too many stories about my friends in the industry hating music because of a teacher they had who drilled them on rudiments and posture, and made them give up playing. Teaching should be the passage of knowledge and passion to those who seek it out. My goal as a teacher is to make performing music fun, enjoyable and also to share that feeling of wonder when the fundamentals behind how music works are understood.

Musical Education

I am currently in my third year studying in the Singer/Songwriter program at Carleton. I play many different instruments including singing, guitar, trumpet, and piano.
My focuses are in songwriting and playing, but I am also able to help with theory and technique.

Awards and Distinctions

I graduated High School in National Honors Society, and Music Honor's Society in 3 years, and I am on the Dean's List in University.

Special Skills and Training

I work as an audio technician, and I have an extensive background as a performer in Theater. My background in theater allows to help younger students, classmates, and friends create enjoyable memories in music, no matter their skill level.

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).
