Teaching Philosophy

Music is a fundamental part of the human condition. It speaks to us physically, emotionally, and spiritually and has lasting, transformative effects. I believe in the whole musician. The cause of a wrong note could be anything from anxiety to poor posture to the lack of an emotional connection to your song. I will tailor each lesson to what WE believe is best for you, as a musician and a person.

Musical Education

I have a BM from Ithaca College where I studied voice both scientifically and in practice through speech pathology and neuro-psychology classes. I have additionally studied the voice through the lense of conservatory training in Vocal Pedagogy and Performance. I additionally hold a master's degree from the University of Durham in the UK in Music Cognition research.
My voice training focused on vocal mechanics, studied through musical theatre, folk, and the classical styles. Additionally, I have been a voice teacher and music director for a theatre company for the past 5 years.

Special Skills and Training

I have worked extensively to understand the whole musician. I hold a Professional Performance Certificate in Music Education from Penn State University where I studied the way we learn music across the lifespan. I also hold a certificate in Trans/NB Vocal Pedagogy which I have used extensively in my studio. I have also worked in all aspects of theatre production, from makeup to sound design. My experiences have been instrumental in my teaching of music and the arts as a whole.

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).
