Teaching Philosophy

In my approach to piano teaching, I emplou a philosophy that revolves around creating an engaging and interactive learning experience. I firmly believe that music education should be a journey of joy and exploration. To achieve this, I incorporate games and interactive methods into my teaching. By incorporating these elements, I aim to cultivate a positive and supportive environment where students feel inspired and motivated to explore the world of music.

Musical Education

As a piano and music instructor, I have four years of teaching expertise, characterized by a gentle and patient approach. My lessons are tailored to accommodate your unique requirements and goals. Having achieved distinction in both Grade 8 piano exams (RCM) and Grade 8 music theory (RCM), I bring a solid foundation of skill and commitment. However, it's my genuine enthusiasm for imparting the delight of music that distinguishes my teaching style.

Special Skills and Training

One noteworthy achievement that sets me apart as a piano teacher is my success at the Peel Music Festival in 2019, where I secured the second position. This accomplishment not only showcases my own proficiency as a pianist but also demonstrates my commitment to excellence and musical growth

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).
