Teaching Philosophy

Music is a great way to express yourself towards others, and it is the most effective way to describe yourself as a person without words. I enjoy establishing various lesson plans for each student as everyone learns differently, and I believe it is a great way to express the type of person you are based on the type of learning method you learn from.
I also believe learning should feel care free and not undergo a lot of stress. This goes for both kids and adults as music is a type of comfort we tend to grasp towards.

Musical Education

I am currently studying Music for my BA at Simon Fraser University.
I have studied and trained classical piano through the RCM curricum for the past 13 years. I have finished my RCM level 10 exam, and I am currently studying for my RCM ARCT Diploma.

Awards and Distinctions

- RCM level 10 exam
- RCM basic / intermediate harmony
- RCM basic - advanced history
- Steinway piano competition Merit Award (2020)

Special Skills and Training

I have spent many years undergoing the type of training I needed with my piano teacher with over 40 years of experience. I have also taught in person and online for the past year as students tend to get busy during the school year. I have also performed and collaborated with other artists at SFU. Because of this, I also had a chance to work on my composing skills, and this has helped me gain experience as a teacher and composer.

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).
