Teaching Philosophy

I firmly believe that everyone can and should learn music, either at a theoretical or practical level (or both if possible), since music generates in the individual an increase in psychomotor and intellectual skills, as well as this It gives the person great emotional sensitivity and a high sense of aesthetics.

I had the opportunity to work in Venezuela within the "Venezuelan youth and children's orchestra system" as a violinist, teacher and orchestra director. For me that was a very pleasant and exciting experience since I was able to live and see how music transforms people into better individuals.

After this, I can consider that musical learning, whether the student dedicates himself to a professional musical career or not (this being a means of entertainment and distraction for the rest of his life), this experience will give this individual a vision of the world and life totally different, this perspective being more positive, aesthetic and harmonious.

Musical Education

-I have an bachelor in Music. Mention: Orchestral Conducting at a UNEARTE Caracas, D.C. Venezuela (Jul 2011).
-I have a Master in Music at Simón Bolivar University (USB) Caracas, D.C. Venezuela (July 2022).
-In Canada, I have worked teaching violin classes in different academies and institutions. Specifically, in the Ontario GTA, I have taught either: violin, cello, music theory, group string classes and orchestral rehearsals; in cities such as: Toronto, Richmond Hill, Markham, Oakville, Scarborough and Nobleton. I have worked with students of a wide age range from 6 years old to 75 years old.

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).
