Teaching Philosophy

I believe that I am a natural musician, as I demonstrated my musical talent from a very young age. It all began with the early influence of my family, as my parents provided me with both a musical environment and the opportunity to learn music. I enjoyed singing, dancing, and playing instruments throughout my childhood, and I was consistently recognized as a musical star from elementary school through university. Eventually, I became a music teacher in my hometown and participated in numerous choir and band competitions annually, earning countless awards for both teaching and tutoring in instruments and voice. I won first prize in the municipal senior teacher basic skills presentation program and became a leading teacher in our district. Over the past 22 years of my teaching career, I have continuously sought to learn new knowledge and methods to help students develop their musical appreciation and practical skills. Kodály teaching methods are my favorite pedagogy and my passion. My dream is to study it in Hungary someday. Now, as I begin my new career in Canada, I hope to fully utilize my strengths to help people enhance their musical knowledge and skills. I believe that learning music can make children smarter and bring a more colorful life to everyone.

I have attended the following institutions and earned the following degrees:

Normal University of Beijing - Bachelor of Music Education

Special Skills and Training

Piano and voice are my primary majors, with guitar as my secondary major, and conducting has been my main focus during my 22-year career. In addition to these skills, I am a responsible teacher who cares deeply about the well-being of my students, both mentally and physically. I always strive to integrate culture, spirit, and physical activity into my classes to create a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere for my students. Additionally, I am a calligraphy teacher and have won an excellent tutoring prize in China.

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).
