Teaching Philosophy

I believe piano training can instill the confidence and skills we all need to succeed in our daily lives. By separating a long piece of music into sections for attentive practise, we can learn how break down major tasks into doable bits. When practising a piece slowly and deliberately until committed to muscle memory, we learn that slow and steady always wins the race. Most importantly, piano practise can teach us that no matter how daunting a goal, any task can be achieved with the right approach. With my students, I hope to work towards goals we are BOTH excited about, and see them come into fruition!

Musical Education

I have a Grade 10 RCM Certificate. I have RCM Certificates in Music Theory, Harmony and History. I have 4 years of experience teaching piano in-home, including to students with special needs (ie. ADHD, ASD). Having been a piano student for over a decade, I continue to play and learn piano independently— now accumulating over 15 years of playing experience.

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).
