Teaching Philosophy

Music is my life; I greatly enjoy it whenever I hear or feel music. After learning music for as long as I have, I feel the need to pass my knowledge on to students who truly want to learn. I will often encourage students to not only develop their interest in the piano and also to really enjoy the music themselves. There are no absolute boundaries in learning music. Moreover, my goal is not only to enable students to play an instrument but also to understand music theory and how to apply it to music in real life.

Special Skills and Training

When I was 12 year old, by the time I had learned piano only 1 year, I was able to interpret the pop songs melodies perfectly on the piano. This was soon noticed by my parents and teachers. They said my ear memory is gifted perfect pitch. In 2014, by the time I learned piano for 3 years, I passed the level 9 in Amateur Piano Department and levels 1-3 in Music Theory (same level difficulty as the RCM Grade 10 in Canada ), The highest level of that institute is 9.

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).
