Teaching Philosophy

I am RCM Certified Piano Teacher. My teaching philosophy is........

“ If you want happiness for a lifetime- help the next generation”( The Law of Stewardship)

Music is a universal language. Music means my life and happiness to me. I chose to pursue peace, harmony, and happiness in music. I fell in love with the piano in my childhood years. Nothing can make me feel so peaceful as listening to and playing the piano. I have been searching for good piano teachers and learning all good things from them.

I am so happy and grateful that music is a part of my life. Feelings of love and gratitude in music are the answer to all blessings of life. I would love to transfer piano techniques to the next generation because I believe in music and pedagogy. Remember that gratitude is a fundamental part of your successful life. I use gratitude as part of my day and begin my day with thoughts and feelings of love and gratitude to music.

I graduated with a piano performance in my country and earned a performance certificate in the United Kingdom. I have been trained in Yamaha Music Canada (Toronto, Ontario) and have taught the Junoir Music Course(JMC) and Junior Extension Course(JXC) for five years. I have taught piano since I was in my teenage years.

My goal is to teach students genuine techniques from basic to advanced, as outlined in RCM Piano Teacher Pedagogy. I hope that one day, one or many of them will be good teachers. With love and gratitude, I can make this come true.

A teaching philosophy statement that clarifies the fundamental principles of my pedagogical approach.
I will build and develop a strong foundation with the essential techniques. A positive attitude and inspiration are critical elements that will encourage a student to be successful in piano playing. A positive attitude and inspiration are crucial elements in my teaching career.
I will integrate the importance of building a solid foundation in music theory and how it supports a student’s musical understanding. Together with the repertoires, etudes, and technical requirements under RCM, it also opens doors to endless possibilities for self-expression.

For example, I have taught the students in class and always observed the Yamaya and RCM curricula syllabus. This is to encourage students to fulfill requirements as needed. The syllabus is the bible. The attitude and inspiration can be built into students when I play a favorite music for them and encourage the students to express their images in mind. Let them play with their right hand on that music piece such as “Fur Elise,” “Jingle Bells,” Hot Cross Buns.” It would be better if they could sing while playing. Give them stickers, and admire them.

In essence, my teaching philosophy is centered around building a robust musical foundation, a cornerstone for long-term student success. From posture, body movement, and hand positioning to chords and advanced skills, I focus on the fundamentals that propel my students toward their goals. My commitment to genuine techniques extends beyond the basics, ensuring that each student is equipped for a lifetime of musical growth and artistic expression. They will carry forward the values of gratitude, love, and inspiration, paving the way for lifelong success.

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).
