Teaching Philosophy

I believe that being understandable, kind, and patient to student, especially to kids is the way to teach. I learn this when not only as a teacher, but as a student. Learning music should be a fun thing to do, rather being a subject of what our parents told us to learn.

Musical Education

I have attended University of Toronto as a student in Faculty of Music, and am currently taking courses as a piano student taught by Emily Chiang.
During my high school years in Shawnigan Lake School, I have earned a lot of awards from performing in Chapel. I was the award owner of Ward Music Trophy in year 2020-2021, won the 360 Award for Band Performance in the same year.

Special Skills and Training

I have certificated for RCM Level 8 Music Theory; performing wise, I started practicing piano when I was 5, and have spent over 10 years working on classical piano pieces. Over those 10 years, I have worked on pieces written by composers in all over the eras: Baroque, Classical, Romantic and Modern (20 centuries).

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).
