Teaching Philosophy

As a music teacher specializing in violin, viola, and beginner piano, my philosophy centers on making music an enjoyable and integral part of each student's life while guiding them toward excellence. I believe that a positive and enthusiastic approach fosters a love for music, and I strive to create a nurturing environment where students feel inspired and motivated. By incorporating engaging and varied repertoire, interactive lessons, and creative activities, I aim to make learning an exciting journey.

At the same time, I understand the importance of discipline and structure in achieving musical proficiency. I balance fun with a clear set of goals and expectations, encouraging students to push their boundaries and develop their skills with determination. By setting high standards and providing constructive feedback, I help students cultivate a strong work ethic and a sense of accomplishment. My goal is to instill a lifelong appreciation for music while equipping students with the tools they need to excel and express themselves artistically.

Musical Education

I have a Bachelor of Music and Master of Music from Mannes School of Music in New York City, studying under Juilliard professor Lewis Kaplan, and renowned violin virtuoso Dr. Chin Kim. I have performed at festivals in the US as well as Austria, and have played at prestigious Venues such as Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Sony Hall for New York Fashion Week, Winspear Center, and more.

Special Skills and Training

I have 8+ years of experience preparing my students for exams in NYC and Canada. In NYC, 100% of my students achieved outstanding grades at the NYSSMA festival and ABRSM exams. I also have over 500,000 followers on social media through posting fun music videos and covers. Ask me about it during your lesson!

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).
