Teaching Philosophy

I am flexible in my teaching approach and I carefully observe the student's learning process in order to come up with the best methods. I am open to different music styles, and I encourage the students to suggest the pieces they would like to learn.

Musical Education

I began my studies at University of Toronto in 1998 but I moved to Montreal after 2 years and completed my Bachelor and Artist Diploma (classical piano) at Concordia University. I later completed most of the courses offered by the Concordia Jazz department and have been playing jazz in my spare time ever since.

Special Skills and Training

I have been playing jazz piano in a quartet for a couple of years on and off. I also took jazz vocal lessons at the McGill conservatory and occasionally participate in vocal jam nights. I had some students in the past who wanted to play pop songs and sing at the same time, so I was able to help them with that.

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).
