Teaching Philosophy

My teaching philosophy is deeply rooted in fostering a profound love for music while developing technical proficiency and artistic expression in each student. I believe that every student is unique, and my approach is tailored to meet individual needs and goals, ensuring a comprehensive and engaging learning experience.

Student-Centered Learning: I prioritize understanding each student's strengths, weaknesses, and musical interests. This personalized approach allows me to create customized lesson plans that inspire and motivate, ensuring steady progress and sustained enthusiasm.

Holistic Development: My teaching extends beyond technical skills. I emphasize the importance of musical theory, history, and ear training to develop well-rounded musicians. I encourage students to explore various genres and styles, broadening their musical horizons and fostering a deeper appreciation for the art.

Technical Excellence and Artistic Expression: Mastery of technique is crucial, but equally important is the ability to convey emotion and tell a story through music. I focus on developing both aspects, guiding students to achieve technical precision while nurturing their interpretative abilities and personal expression.

Encouraging Critical Thinking and Creativity: I believe in cultivating an environment where students feel comfortable experimenting and expressing their creativity. I encourage critical thinking, helping students analyze and understand the music they play, fostering independent musicianship and problem-solving skills.

Musical Education

I have a MA in piano performance from Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre. And last year I got my Doctor of Art from Srinakharinwirot University.
My teacher in China is Chenhui, who is the Dutch pianist and teaching in Utrecht Conservatory. In MA study duration, my teacher is Dr. Sten Lassmann, who is a Doctor of the Royal Academy of Music in the United Kingdom, and a signed artist with Taccata Classics.

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).
