Teaching Philosophy

I believe in engaging students and making music learning fun. I do not use a "one method for all", instead my teaching style depends on each individual student. Lessons are designed according to each students technical abilities and learning needs and lessons are adapted weekly as needed.

Musical Education

I have been teaching piano to students of all ages for over 15 years. I have my Level 10 RCM as well as my Bachelor of Music Degree. I have also taken additional courses in Pedagogy, honing my teaching skills to be able to create adaptable lessons that keep students engaged and enjoying their lessons week to week!

Special Skills and Training

I have been working with students of all ages, since the start of my teaching career. Over the years, this has helped me gain insight into the needs of individual students and help create a expansive "bag of resources" for students who learn in different capacities. My experiences with a wide array of learning styles has been an enjoyable challenge that I continue to work to develop so that I can continue to provide lessons for all!

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).
