Teaching Philosophy

Music should always be a joy, so it is my goal to always find the fun. I believe in exploration, trying new things, and familiarizing ourselves with new sounds and new feelings when it comes to making music.
Proper technique is important, so my teaching has a firm foundation in pedagogy and understanding of music, musical concepts and how to achieve them, and how the body works so we can sing as healthily as possible.

Most importantly is to meet students where they are at. We are all at different levels with different skill sets, personalities, and we all shine a little differently. My goal as a music educator is to build a musical foundation, inspire music appreciation, and foster my students' sense of creativity and confidence.

Musical Education

I have a Bmus in Music Performance from Brandon University and am currently enrolled at Western University to obtain my Master's in Music.

I began singing at age 6 in church choir haven't stopped since! I began taking private lessons and performing in competitions. While in university I found a passion for teaching, performing, and working with others. Although I am classically trained, I've also been trained in musical theatre and pop styles as well. My teachers have worked nationally and internationally in opera, theatre, as well as musical theatre.

Special Skills and Training

In addition to my time in university, I also perform in a funk band. We do everything from music festivals to birthday bashes to weddings. I've performed with professional development programs across the country in NUOVA Vocal Arts, a Wild Studio, and the National Youth Choir of Canada. I've performed in different festivals across the country in funk bands to premiering my own compositions.

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).
