Teaching Philosophy

Music is Fun. We play and listen to music to relax.
I want that my students enjoy the instrument and the music because it's the essential element of successful learning at any age, and I make certain that students learn without a lot of undue stress and anxiety.
I assure the highest level of education and giving the student the result he wants in a professional and relaxing teaching method.
Students can ask for popular songs that I can arrange for them.

Musical Education

I hold a BA in Music (Classical Guitar Performance) from the Lebanese National Higher Conservatory of Music. I pursued my studies online with Canadian elite guitarist and teacher Dr Tariq Harb (2016 to 2019).
I did many masterclasses for years with well knows guitarists in Europe adn the world (Simone Onnis (Italy), Anja Witt (Germany), Tariq Harb (Canada), Jonathan Earp (Canada), Dragos Horghidan (Romania), Alexandra Pestisor (Romania)).

Awards and Distinctions

Winner of the 4th Arabic Classical Guitar Competition in 2016
Runner-up in the 5th National Music Competition (Guitar) in 2011
Guitar Masters in 2016

Special Skills and Training

With the 10 years of teaching experience I already have and started to gain at a young age, I can assure that as a teacher I was also a student. I learned from every student something new. Every student gave me more and more pedagogical skills. Being able to teach all characters of students in a professional approach and sending the message and information in the best way.

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).
