Teaching Philosophy

As someone deeply influenced by rhythm and melody, I find myself captivated by any sound I hear while walking down the street, often picking up the entire melody. For me, music is a way to make people feel comfortable and relaxed. In my teaching, I emphasize that it's not necessary to push oneself to a high level all at once; instead, focusing on basic exercises is crucial. In my classroom, for children aged 6-12, I use games to make learning easy and stress-free. Through various tips and techniques, students can achieve the best results effortlessly. For adults, I incorporate popular music to spark their interest in learning. I believe that without these engaging methods, students might loose interest in learning rhythm and melodies.

Musical Education

I have an honours BA in music from Fu Jen Catholic University, which included performance classes and Orchestra class in classical music.
I studied both violin and piano privately from the age of six until the age of twenty-one. Teachers I have been mentored by Academy of Taiwan Strings concertmaster-TAN ZHENG, Universität Mozarteum Salzburg- ZHAO GUO-JI, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign- LU YAO-ZU, also had joined master class of Cho-Liang Lin, and the training I underwent was rigorous and detailed. My piano teacher was trained in Anton Bruckner Privatuniversität, and was likewise detail oriented with exceptionally high standards.

Special Skills and Training

I spent my childhood watching my mother teach piano in the living room. She is an impeccable teacher with over 40 years experience as a professional pianist and a dedicated educator. My training was primarily at home, and as such, functions at a deep and natural level within me. My mom hope one of the children could follow his industry, so I'm the one who follow her step.

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).
