Teaching Philosophy

When teaching music to children, my philosophy revolves around creating a joyful and inclusive learning environment that sparks their curiosity, cultivates their creativity, and instils a lifelong love for music.

Every child has unique learning styles, strengths, and interests. I strive to understand each child's personality, musical preferences, and goals to tailor my teaching approach accordingly. Besides, I believe in the power of positive reinforcement to build children's confidence and self-esteem. I provide encouragement, praise their efforts, and celebrate their achievements, no matter how small.

Recognizing the vital role of parents and guardians in a child's musical development, I encourage parental involvement and collaboration. I provide resources, guidance, and regular communication to keep parents informed about their child's progress, and I offer suggestions for reinforcing learning at home. By fostering a strong partnership with parents, we can create a cohesive support system that nurtures the child's musical growth.

Musical Education

I embarked on my musical education journey 14 years ago with a deep passion for the clarinet. By successfully earning Grade 8 with Merit, I have demonstrated not only a high level of technical proficiency but also a deep understanding of musical interpretation and performance.

Awards and Distinctions

Special Skills and Training

My experience as a volunteer music teacher in Myanmar makes me truly special as an educator. It has broadened my perspective on music education. I have witnessed the transformative power of music in a different cultural context and gained insights into the universal language of music. This global perspective allows me to inspire my students with a broader understanding of music's impact and connect them to a global community of 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).
