Teaching Philosophy

My deep passion for performing and creating music, combined with my innate ability to connect with and inspire children, shines through in my approach to music education. I am dedicated to guiding each student in cultivating a strong foundational understanding of music, while also nurturing their unique talents and helping them reach their full musical potential. With years of experience and a genuine enthusiasm for teaching, I am committed to creating a positive and enriching learning environment where students can explore, learn, and thrive in their musical journey.

Musical Education

I have studied at the Medicine Hat College, Vancouver Community College, and have also taken courses and masterclasses at the University of Alberta. I have completed my Diploma of Music and am currently working towards my Bachelor of Music and Orff Teaching Certificate.

Awards and Distinctions

As a teen, I earned first class honors with distinction in my Gr. 10 RCM piano exam. I received awards and was recommended to provincial music festival in Alberta as a young adult.

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).
