Teaching Philosophy

Music has always been an important part in my life. Skills such as creativity, coordination, analysis can all be learned in the study of music and are all essential in life even if one does not end up with music as their career path.

My lessons focus on both the technical and creative side of music, but I also work closely with my student's so that we can focus on their interests and goals that they have for their lessons. Be it learning a specific piece, specializing in a certain genre, or learning music theory, I create specific curriculums for each of my students after discussing their learning goals with them.

Musical Education

I have attended the following schools and obtained the following degrees:
-National Conservatory of Peru - Violin
-Berklee College of Music - Bachelor of Music (minor in American Roots Music)
-Pacific Northwest Film Scoring Program - Master of Music

I have studied with several teachers in several music traditions. Among them being Jason Anick, Bruce Molsky, Simon Shaheen, and Eugene Friesen. I have also attended several workshops and music camps over the years such as the Global Musicians workshop, Creative Strings Workshop and the Pure Dead Brilliance Fiddle Camp.

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).
