Teaching Philosophy

My job as a teacher is to help my students achieve their goals. This means customizing the lesson experience to fit the needs of the student. Everyone learns differently, and there are many different approaches to learning music. It is important that students find enjoyment in playing music and are motivated to practice and improve.

Becoming a good musician consists of two main parts: having technical proficiency and being able to learn songs/pieces. During lessons, students will learn how to master their instrument, which will give them the facility to play any type of music that they desire.

Musical Education

I have completed my grade 10 RCM in piano and my bachelor of music degree from St. Francis Xavier University. I am currently enrolled in the masters of music therapy program at Wilfrid Laurier University. I have also taken private music lessons in piano, trumpet and voice.

Awards and Distinctions

MNS Jazz Recording of the year nomination- 2023

Special Skills and Training

I have lots of experience gigging and performing music. I have played in a variety of different groups including rock cover bands, country bands, big bands, and small jazz ensembles. I also have experience writing and recording original music.

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).
