Teaching Philosophy

Teaching music has always been my passion. I inspire my students to reach their highest potential while enjoying the learning process and having fun. I consider myself not just a teacher but also a mentor. When teaching I try to be as positive and encouraging as I can. I believe that a teacher's positive attitude and encouraging words play a major role in the student's overall confidence of their musical abilities. I listen to my students' struggles and challenges and give advice on how to overcome those challenges. I make sure that I spend some time playing some music for my students to listen and show them how they could sound like with practice. By doing this, I try to inspire them to aim higher. This is a great way to keep them motivated and practicing and improving their skills.

Musical Education

I received my Bachelor of Music Performance from the Saint-Petersburg Rimsky-Korsakov Conservatory, Russia majoring in bassoon. I also studied classical guitar privately.

Awards and Distinctions

I was chosen to represent the Saint-Petersburg Rimsky-Korsakov Conservatory in a European Musical Tour in 1995.

Special Skills and Training

I was a member of the Saint-Petersburg State Symphony Orchestra as a bassoon player and I taught guitar at a private music school.

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).
