Teaching Philosophy

Music is a language that allows us to express so much more that we can with words alone. It can help us express pain and move through difficult feelings to find the joy at the other side.

Music is a way of being together and connecting in Community, supporting and nourishing each other. It's a great way to learn and practice social skills for young students and something that can be done for your whole life with friends and family.

Music is a way of honoring and remembering our ancestors and the unique cultures we all came from. Sometimes it spiritual, some times it tells stories of where we came from and the ways the people who came before us thought and moved.

For me, music is the best way for me to communicate and connect! I welcome to opportunity to help you learn this incredible language and become fluent so you can use it in ways that feel good for you too.

Musical Education

I have a BA with a music major from Canadian Mennonite University. My minors allowed me space to study psych and other social sciences. Along with my experience this gives me the confidence to teach a wide varied of abilities and learning styles.
I have studied piano since I was 5 years old, and a variety of performing arts including dance, singing, acting since 3. I play many instruments, but piano is the one I really use to communicate and process my strong emotions. It’s also the one I’ve studied how to teach! So win win!

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).
