Teaching Philosophy

Music, no matter if you are a professional musician or someone just starting to learn, has the potential to be the greatest thing in your life. No matter what their goals are, I will ensure that my students meet them and enjoy every step of the way, while developing healthy practicing and life habits.

Musical Education

I have attended CÉGEP de Saint-Laurent, in the program "Technique professionelle de musique et chanson" in jazz saxophone and graduated with a grant for completion with great distinction. I am currently studying jazz performance at McGill University. I studied with Prof Camille Thurman, Christine Jensen, Jean-Pierre Zanella, André Leroux and many more.

Awards and Distinctions

Bourse pour complétion avec grande distinction (CÉGEP Saint-Laurent)
Dean's Undergraduate Award (Schulich School of Music, Mcgill)

Special Skills and Training

I am very experienced in music education, having led a high school big band at Collège Beaubois, given ear training and arranging tutoring and CÉGEP de Saint-Laurent, and taught many sectionals in various high schools. I have also completed a class in Music for Children at McGill. Other skills I have include experience in French tutoring, facility with music software such as Finale, as well as camp counseling experience.

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).
