Teaching Philosophy

The most important thing in learning to play the piano is joy. Without positive emotions and pleasure from the game there will be no result. I do everything so that from the first minutes of training the student understands that music is, first of all, a state of mind. My teaching philosophy is not only piano lessons, but also a comprehensive musical education, including the development of an ear for music and a sense of rhythm.

Learning without stress and pressure is the key to success. Developing musical skills through fun exercises and learning different musical styles and movements is an important task. Positivity and passion are the basis of learning.

Musical Education

I have attended the following schools earning the following degrees:
-Kyiv City State Institute of Culture-Master of Music.
-R.M. Glier Kyiv City State College of Music-Bachelor of Music.My main teachers were my parents and also outstanding teachers of the music institute.





Special Skills and Training

I started playing the piano at the age of 5. My parents were excellent teachers. My mother taught me piano and sang in a clear voice, which greatly developed my ear for music. Going with my father to the opera house every month was mandatory. Also, working in my own recording studio greatly improved my skills as a sound engineer and arranger as well as a songwriter. And all my life I have been giving piano lessons to children and adults. Music is my life!

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).
