Teaching Philosophy

As a piano teacher, my teaching philosophy is rooted in the belief that everyone is capable of learning and mastering the piano with the right guidance, dedication, and patience. I am committed to providing a supportive and encouraging environment that fosters confidence, discipline, and a love for music. I recognize the importance of individualized instruction, tailoring lessons to the unique learning styles and goals of each student. I emphasize the development of a strong foundation in technique, musicality, and aural perception, while also valuing the experience of performing and sharing music with others. Through this approach, I aim to inspire and empower my students to achieve their full potential as pianists and musicians

Musical Education

I have a strong foundation in music education, holding an ARCT certificate from the Royal Conservatory of Music and pursuing a BA in Interactive Arts and Technology at Simon Fraser University. I studied both piano and flute from the age of five. I moved to Canada when I was twelve and I trained under my new piano teacher who underwent classical training at Conservatoire de Paris. I have played for the Richmond Delta Youth Orchestra since 2017 and performed in various tours across North America.

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).
