Teaching Philosophy

Singing for joy is at the center of my identity as an artist, and subsequently, my teaching philosophy. I conduct my lessons in such a way that accommodates each student individually, taking into account their goals, skill set, mentality, and physiology. I provide students of all ages with a safe space in which they can explore, make mistakes, excel, and sing for joy.

I believe in the importance of understanding breath and body alignment as the foundation for creating sound. I ensure that the correct steps are meticulously taken to develop each student's voice into an instrument of beauty and longevity, unique to them.

Musical Education

I have a Bachelor's of Music in opera performance from the University of British Columbia. I have studied classical voice since the age of fifteen, and I have intermediate-level piano skills.

Special Skills and Training

I have additional training and experience from the young artist programs Nuova Vocal Arts and Chicago Summer Opera. I performed musical theatre between the ages of 7-17, during which I studied tap, jazz, and ballet. I have a very thorough understanding of the physiological process of breathing and its relationship to creating sound, as well as a detailed, methodical approach to bel canto vocal technique, which I pair with Alexander Technique. I have extensive performance experience, having performed in operas, musicals, concerts, masterclasses, and competitions. I know the performance standards for young artists today and work relentlessly to maintain a high level of excellence and ensure optimal preparation for the professional sphere.

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).
