Teaching Philosophy

My passion for music runs deep, and I am driven by a desire to share its emotional power, inspiration, and ability to unite people. As a music teacher, my primary goal is to spark a lifelong love for music in my students, helping them discover its joy and beauty. I believe that music education goes beyond developing musical skills; it also fosters personal growth and self-expression. By embracing the creative potential of music, I strive to create an environment where students feel empowered to explore their own ideas and think creatively. Through this approach, I aim to leave a lasting, transformative impact on their lives, enabling them to connect with themselves and others through the universal language of music.

Musical Education

I began my piano journey at the age of five, demonstrating a deep passion for music from an early age. By the age of 12, I had successfully achieved the ABRSM Grade 8 Piano qualification, marking a significant milestone in my musical education.

Special Skills and Training

With a background in early childhood education, I recognize that teaching piano to four-year-olds demands essential qualities such as patience, creativity, and strong communication skills to effectively engage and inspire young learners. Over the past ten years, I have had the privilege of teaching students of all ages, from young children to adults, gaining rich and diverse experience in guiding each of them on their musical journey.

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).
