Teaching Philosophy

I have a musical ear for rhythm, technique and style. I am strict about the technical things, as I believe the quality of the music created is a combination of both passion and a well-trained body. Rhythm is one of those things that is essential to music in impacting the way people feel, and I firmly believe that, with a gentle hand, I can pull that rhythm and passion that lives in each of us.

Musical Education

I have had a vast amount of musical education growing up, studying both piano, voice, and guitar privately and have acquired experience singing and playing semi-professionally in a choir and an orchestra as well as a jazz band. We sang alongside other choirs such as the Elmer Isler Singers and Against the Grain Theatre in their Messiah Project. My classical guitar teacher was classically trained and also performed in folk and flamenco music and had an extensive background in guitar teaching. He was very detail-oriented and technique-focused, and I adored singing and learning my techniques from him.

Special Skills and Training

I have taught music for many years, both musically and academically. As such, I am well versed in the different ways people learn, and I am able to accommodate their needs. I am also familiar with musical recording, songwriting, and sound editing with software such as GarageBand and MIDI. I am a frequent songwriter and can teach in a variety of age groups.

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).
