Teaching Philosophy

My teaching philosophy is always to meet them where they are at, and to always come from a place of curiosity. I always have the idea that the student already knows what they want out of their voice and I’m just their to guide them along.

Musical Education

I have a Bachelor of Music from the Juilliard School and a Master of Music from College-Conservatory of Music, University of Cincinnati, both in Vocal and Opera Performance. I have also done an artist residency at l'Opéra de Montréal. Some of my past and upcoming engagements as a singer include L'Opéra de Montréal, Les Grands Ballets Canadiens, Houston Grand Opera co., Banff Opera Centre, Tapestry Opera, Regina Symphony Orchestra, Cincinnati Opera, L'orchestre symphonique de Trois-Rivières, L'orchestre de l'Agora, Brooklyn National Sawdust, Opera Theatre of St. Louis.

Awards and Distinctions

Semifinalist, Montreal Symphony Competition
Finalist, American National Opera Association Competition
Encouragement Award, Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions
Prix Poulenc, Jeunes Ambassadeurs Lyriques

Special Skills and Training

Apart from my years of experience in teaching, I also studied Vocal Pedagogy during my my Graduate Studies in Opera where I really got to perfect my skills in teaching voice. I also have experience teaching classes from kindergarten up to high school in a school setting, so I really know how to work with all ages!

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).
