Teaching Philosophy

In the first session of my classes, I usually spend time connecting with students and becoming more familiar with their tastes and goals in music.
The only main teaching philosophy that I follow is to create a personalized method for each student. For adult students, this matter of personalizing the training schedule could be essential because their main challenge in learning music could be the ability to make time management for practicing.

Musical Education

I'm in the second year of my Ph.D. studies in music at the University of Ottawa (in music education and wellness topics) and have done my M.A. In Music Performance (Guitar), I was fortunate to curate three concerts in the last two years for my students.
I have taught electric, acoustic, classic, and bass guitar for about eight years.
Besides guitar, I can instruct my students in songwriting, Vocals, improvisation performance, tactics for stress and anxiety in music performance, and methods for more productive daily practices.

Special Skills and Training

I think the best I could provide my students with is the ability to improvise. Enjoy music at all levels. That is what is vital in the end, in my opinion. Time management in education is one more thing that I considered time management a skill I had worked on academically for my M.A. thesis.

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).
