Teaching Philosophy

I aim to make music an exciting and enjoyable experience for my students. I recognize that music is not merely a subject to be taught, but an essential expression of the soul that resonates within each individual.

My teaching philosophy as a music educator revolves around igniting a love for music, fostering curiosity, and building strong music skills foundations. Through engaging and interactive lessons, I aim to spark interest in music and create a lifelong connection to this incredible art form. By providing comprehensive instruction, personalized guidance, and a supportive environment, I strive to empower my students to become not only skilled musicians but also passionate ambassadors of music.

Musical Education

I am pursuing a Bachelor of Music degree in Classical Voice Performance at the University of Toronto (UofT).
I studied piano privately from the age of five, and achieved the ABRSM Grade 8 in piano. I have been singing in choirs since the age of six, and started taking private lessons at 15 in Hong Kong, and achieved Distinction in the ABRSM Grade 8 in singing. I have competed and won in numerous singing competitions at the Hong Kong Music Festival, Hong Kong A Cappella Contest, and the Busan Choral Festival & Competition with the school choir and as a soloist. I have worked closely with the RCM Oscar Peterson School of Music as a summer camp volunteer and the Mississauga's Children Choir with a summer internship in 2022, and a student volunteer for the UofT Summer Conducting Symposium in 2023.

Special Skills and Training

During my childhood, I found myself utterly consumed by the world of music. Whether I was seated at the piano, passionately singing in choirs, or taking on solos, music was my constant companion. These formative experiences have driven me to become a dedicated performer and an aspiring teacher, eager to share the joy of music with others. It is my firm belief that music holds the potential to touch hearts, enrich lives, and foster a deep sense of connection, and I am committed to nurturing this love and appreciation for music in all those I have the privilege to teach.

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).
