Teaching Philosophy

My aim is to make learning music fun and enjoyable, discover each student´s potential and adapt a personal plan that will constantly improve their musical skills and talent.

Musical Education

I started studying music when I was five years old in Mexico City, playing many instruments like flute, violin, cello, and bassoon, but specializing in piano, which I studied for fourteen years.
I´ve been teaching one-on-one piano lessons for over twelve years, tailoring personalized repertoire to each student, and organizing yearly recitals attended by family and friends.

Special Skills and Training

Being part of a musical family, I spent my childhood watching my parents, grandparents, uncles and aunts teaching and playing a diverse range of musical styles. I grew up attending the Philarmonic Orchestra in Mexico City every Sunday and started studying music at three years old. I studied Arts and Culture Management Degree and worked for artists and concert agencies for more than four years, getting to know off-stage and on-stage activities perfectly. I´m a very patient and fun teacher, coordinating yearly recitals for more than 20 students per year.

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).
