Teaching Philosophy

I can teach the students for an entire day; but if I can teach them to learn by creating curiosity, they will continue the learning process automatically without stress as long as they live.

Many students desire to learn music but give up too early without ever fully exploring their potential. I have always desired to help them revive their interest and re-examine their music learning. There is nothing quite like the feeling of watching my students perform on stage. This yearning has driven me to focus my lessons on awakening joy in creative expression and knowledge.

Musical Education

I have a BA in music education from the music faculty of Central China Normal University.

Special Skills and Training

Indeed, students won’t like every teacher they meet. This prompted me to think about "what kind of teacher students like" while I was studying music education at university, and at that time I hoped that I would become such a teacher in the future. Furthermore, I became a positive discipline parent facilitator and a solving the mysteries of teen parenting educator for the Positive Discipline Association of America in 2021. In 2022, I became an encouragement counsellor of encouragement counselling sessions of Lynn Lott, who is another positive discipline founder besides Jane Nelson.

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).
