Teaching Philosophy

I want to help my student's find their voice, whatever that might mean to them. The students I've worked with come from many different backgrounds and experience levels, but no matter where you are in your vocal development journey, my biggest goal is to help you find joy and confidence in singing, and to give you the skills to be able to nurture, embrace and expand your own unique voice!

Musical Education

I hold an honours BFA in music/theatre from Sheridan College, which included extensive training in classical, musical theatre and pop vocal techniques, as well as advanced ear training. I also studied voice privately at Grant Macewan university from the ages of eight to eighteen

Awards and Distinctions

Best performance in a leading role from Sheridan College

Special Skills and Training

I have spent many years teaching/directing youth theatre classes/productions and also spent much of my youth participating in classes of that nature. Learning to sing/perform can be an extremely vulnerable endeavour to undertake but I've found that these teaching experiences have shown me many different avenues in which to encourage my students to feel confident and proud in the work they are doing.

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).
