Teaching Philosophy

What sets me apart is my unwavering passion for both music and education. I believe in fostering a deep connection between my students and the piano, not only by imparting technical skills but also by nurturing their love for music. My teaching style is characterized by a personalized approach, tailoring lessons to each student's unique learning style and goals. I strive to create a supportive and encouraging environment that empowers students to express themselves through the piano.

Additionally, I integrate diverse musical genres and styles into my curriculum, providing a well-rounded musical education that sparks creativity and broadens musical horizons. With a commitment to continuous learning and innovation, I embrace new teaching methodologies and technologies to ensure a dynamic and enriching educational experience. Ultimately, my goal is to instill a lifelong appreciation for music in my students and equip them with the skills to become confident and expressive pianists.

Musical Education

I have music education in ABRSM and RCM (Royal Conservatory Music). I currently hold the following degrees from RCM:
# LRCM (Licentiate Performance Diploma)
# ARCT(Associate Diploma)

I am trained in classical music, but have since expanded my repertoire to include modern music, pop, jazz, TV/Movie/Anime soundtracks. I attended Arts Unionville music program, and have experience working with orchestra and choir.

My principle teacher and biggest inspiration is Mr Pugach from the Rimsky-Korsakov State Conservatory in St. Petersburg.

Special Skills and Training

I have performed in many recitals in the FLATO Markham Theatre and won multiple awards in various Music Festivals across the Greater Toronto Area. I have worked with students from different background and technical levels, and have a refined understanding on how to impart music appreciation on my students. I inspire confidence in my students to achieve their musical goals, whether it be overcoming performance anxiety, stimulating composition creativity, or even as simple as just wanting to play a piece for their friend's birthday party :)

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).
