Teaching Philosophy

I believe in creating a fun and welcoming environment for each and every student. As a teacher, it has been my experience that not all students learn the same way and that it is important to tailor the lesson to the student so that they may learn properly.

En Français:
Je crois en la création d'un environnement amusant et accueillant pour chaque élève. En tant qu'enseignant, d'après mon expérience, tous les élèves n'apprennent pas de la même manière et il est important d'adapter la leçon à l'élève afin qu'il puisse apprendre correctement

Musical Education

I recently completed my grade 9 Voice exam with The Royal Conservatory of Music and I am studying for the level 10 with the intent of pursuing the ARCT and I am currently studying level 6 piano, level 9 history and Keyboard Harmony as well. I have a certificate in 18th Century Opera with Harvard University through EDx.

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).
