Teaching Philosophy

I take a modern approach to instruction and tailor each student's lesson plan to fast track their individual goals.
No outdated books! With the advent of internet, we have every exercise ever written available to us. Why limit ourselves to one method from 100 years ago? Alongside my own curriculum we will be using only the most relevant and proven exercises to achieve your specific goals.

Musical Education

I have an honours diploma from Harris Institute of Music.
I completed my RCM grade 9 at the age of 13.
The majority of my musical education comes from 15 years of industry experience!

Special Skills and Training

I have spent my entire life working in many areas of the music industry. Whether it be original bands, corporate acts, recording studios, guitar shops, record labels, the list goes on! In that time, I have run my own private teaching studio for 15 years and have made great lifelong connections. I believe my practical industry experience has been a great asset to students. Especially those that wish to learn what happens in this industry beyond playing an instrument. Whether it be recording themselves, maintaining their guitars, or even booking live shows! I encourage students to be mutifaceted and often explore the boundaries between musical disciplines that are too often segmented.

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).
