Teaching Philosophy

Anybody can play guitar, but everybody learns differently. I consider it my strength that I can quickly learn where a student is at and take things at their pace while targeting their specific interests in music. I stay open and flexible to the many different goals and tastes of different players. It's important to show the musicality behind the material covered, so I'll spend time covering real songs and seeing how the guitar fits into the bigger picture.

Musical Education

I am a graduate of Metal Works Institute of Sound and
Music Production in the Audio Production and Engineering program

Special Skills and Training

I've been playing guitar since 1996, training through both private lessons and the Nation Guitar Workshop. I've been teaching since 2003 both through the Mississauga Academy of Music and through my own private business. I've spent countless time playing in bands and acting as an audio engineer for many others local 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).
