Teaching Philosophy

Music is fundamental to my being, and I believe that it is integral to the education of any person. We all have rhythm and sound as a core part of our body, from the heartbeat to the sound of breath, and formal training in music is only an expansion of what already exists in every person. I believe the most important part about is to feel good. It is okay to play wrong notes and to make mistake. This is all part of learning. From young children to adults, I am here to support you through your music making journey!

Musical Education

I am in the process of completing my Bachelor of Music Therapy with a minor in education from Wilfrid Laurier University where I focus on classical voice.
I am classically trained in voice and have thirteen years of experience of performance in that field. I am well versed in a variety of genres such as classical, pop, and musical theatre.
I have a background in music theory; having completed an equivalency to RCM Level 10 Harmony & Counterpoint.
I have two years of experience teaching ukulele and am equipped to teach elementary level piano and guitar.

Special Skills and Training

- I have experience working with children with special needs and can adapt my teaching style to fit my student's best needs to be successful in their musical journey. - I offer opportunities for dictation practice as well as ear training - J'offre des cours de musique en français ainsi que l'anglais

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).
