Teaching Philosophy

I strongly believe that learning music is beneficial to all aspects of our lives, from stress relief to improving motor skills, it is something that we all should pursue!

My teaching is centered around the student - I believe the best style and best lessons are the ones that make you want to learn and improve. I primarily focus on helping students discover the joy of music, allowing them to have freedom with their songs while still providing educational and interesting lessons!

Please feel free to tell me about any songs or fields of music you are interested in! This can include music production, and specific songs you would like to learn. I would love to help you grow your love and skills in music.

Special Skills and Training

Having learned the piano at age 4, music has always been a central component of my life. I grew up having competed in competitions from the municipal level all the way to the international stage. I completed my ARCT Piano Diploma at the age of 14 in 2019, and have been a piano teacher since then. In my free time I also enjoy composing music, so feel free to ask me about that!

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).
