Teaching Philosophy

Music has the power to heal, connect, and provide people a place to feel their emotions again. I fully believe in the quote, "Music is a universal language" because of it's ability to allow people to engage with themselves, as well as with each other. I chose to become a music teacher because of the joy and motivation that singing brings to me on any given day. I've experienced the laughter and connections made in a choir; and the memories that a song or tune can hold within your heart.
As a private music teacher, I want to allow my students to learn what music means to them, and how it shapes their everyday lives; and to see what effects their sharing of music will have in any person's life.
My ultimate goal is to become a high school music teacher, and to use music to get people to talk about mental health. I hope that showing support through music will mean that more people will talk about mental health and change the language around how we talk about it. I am so full of gratitude and recognize the privilege of sharing my music with the world.

Musical Education

I have been taking singing lessons since the age of six and have grown to love the effect that music has in our lives and in our emotions. I wanted to pursue this passion of music into a career and am currently working towards my Bachelor of Music/Bachelor of Education degree at the University of Alberta.
I have been exposed to numerous genres of singing, and particularly enjoyed learning classical vocal training, musical theatre/pop, as well as some tips on singing for country music.

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).
