Teaching Philosophy

As a music educator, my teaching philosophy is firmly grounded in the profound belief that music serves as a transformative medium for personal expression, growth, and enrichment. I am committed to fostering a learning environment that is nurturing, inclusive, and supportive, where each student feels valued and encouraged to explore their own unique musical voice.

Musical Education

I am a dedicated and experienced music educator, holding both a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Music from M.S.U. University. Additionally, I have a background in Music and Digital Media Production, further enhancing my expertise in the field. With over 6 years of professional teaching experience, I am passionate about nurturing the growth and development of my students. I have a profound understanding of music education and a track record of success in inspiring and guiding students to achieve their musical goals. Furthermore, I have expanded my knowledge through a music theory course at the University of Edinburgh, where I earned a certificate.

Special Skills and Training

Teaching music and enriching students' lives through music education is a profound passion of mine. With over 6 years of teaching experience, I have developed a deep appreciation for the transformative power of music in the lives of students of all ages. This extensive experience has provided me with a diverse set of teaching techniques and approaches that enhance the overall music learning experience for my students. One aspect of my journey as a music educator that has greatly influenced my teaching style is the opportunity to teach and perform world music. Through this exposure, I have gained a broader perspective on music and its cultural significance. It has not only expanded my own musical horizons but has also enriched my ability to connect with students from different backgrounds and inspire their musical growth. By combining my love for teaching, diverse teaching techniques, and exposure to world music, I strive to create a dynamic and engaging learning environment for my students. My ultimate goal is to instill in them a lifelong love and appreciation for music, while equipping them with the skills and knowledge to become confident and expressive musicians.

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).
