Teaching Philosophy

To me, music has always been a natural part of life. I believe everyone has an innate connection to music, an inner passion waiting to be discovered. My goal as a teacher is to ignite that spark in my students, encouraging them to explore what music means to them personally and find their own way to enjoy it.

I start by helping students adjust their body posture, remember key techniques, and practice regularly. Once these foundational skills are in place, students can begin to explore their musical preferences and develop their creativity. Understanding the basics is crucial, but I believe that fostering a sense of fun and discovery is equally important.

I strive to make my lessons inspiring and engaging, moving beyond rote practice and examinations. I want my students to think deeply about what music is to them and to experience the joy and creativity it brings. Everyone should have fun with music, and my teaching aims to make that enjoyment a central part of the learning process.

Musical Education

I began my musical journey at the age of 6, learning piano and achieving ABRSM Grade 3, 5, 7, and 8 certifications. At 11, I expanded my skills to include drums, earning RockSchool Grade 3 and Grade 5 (with distinction) certificates. My passion for music deepened in 2018 when I started learning the acoustic guitar, and two years later, I transitioned to the electric guitar. In late 2022, I earned a Certificate in Guitar Performance from the Musicians Institute, which has provided me with a comprehensive understanding of guitar technique, theory, and performance across various genres.

Special Skills and Training

I hold certificates from ABRSM and Rockschool and have extensive experience studying various instruments. This diverse background has given me a deep understanding of music arrangement across different genres and instruments. These experiences enable me to empathize with students' difficulties and tailor my teaching approach to address their unique challenges effectively.

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).
