Teaching Philosophy

Music has been an essential part of my life and I consider it a constant joy to anyone no matter their age. Throughout my teaching, I prioritize the student's enjoyment and growth with music. Music can teach so many life skills and elevate you as a person. I hope to carry out these valuable lessons through my teaching and become a source of joy for the students

Musical Education

I am currently a 2nd year student at UBC Bmus program, majoring in Piano Performance.

I have studied piano since the age of four and I have completed my ARCT in performance in 2022. Currently my teacher is the renowned Mark Anderson, head of the keyboard faculty in UBC.

Other than piano, I have also studied violin for over ten years and I have been awarded the RCM 9 national gold medal in 2020. I have a large number of experiences playing in large ensembles such as orchestra and chamber music.

I have played accompanist for various instruments as a pianist and I have experience playing in church and jazz band as the pianist. My variety in experience is sure to help in whatever direction you are interested in learning.

Special Skills and Training

As I have been studying music for all my life, I've experienced various teaching styles and various opportunities to display my skills. I've participated in numerous Kiwanis Festivals, completed my ARCT in piano and received the RCM 9 Gold medal in violin. My ensemble experiences stretch out in a variety of genres, from jazz to classical to Christian music. As such, I am flexible to the many different needs of a student and their direction of interest.

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).
