Teaching Philosophy

My teaching philosophy is founded on a desire to find joy and creativity through music. Learning an instrument provides a vehicle for developing an abundance of skills, knowledge, and positive habits. Lessons are tailored to provide a well-rounded education that promotes exploration and healthy study habits, while encouraging personal expression.
For young beginners:
Music lessons are a fantastic way to develop fine motor skills, problem solving, goal-oriented planning, confidence, and a positive sense of self-discipline. Focusing on ear training, early music theory, technique, basic composition, and healthy posture can provide the foundation for healthy and happy playing. We explore diverse genres of music, and students are definitely encouraged to bring their own musical ideas, favourite songs, or interests into lessons!
It is NEVER too late to start!
Studying an instrument as an adult has a plethora of benefits, from maintaining hand dexterity to stress reduction. In workplace-driven lifestyles, using music as a form of expression and communication can provide relaxation, increase memory skills, and encourage creativity. Whether you have played before or are just starting, music lessons are a great way to start a new hobby, bring back an old one, or just develop new skills.

Musical Education

I have had the pleasure of studying music for 22 years. I began piano lessons at age 4, and added tuba lessons 10 years later. While completing my Bachelor’s degree, I fell in love with choral singing and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Piano and Voice Performance. I am now almost completed my Master’s in Voice Studies from the University of Manitoba, and have taken part in programs with mentors from Mount Royal University, University of Calgary, and the University of Manitoba.

Special Skills and Training

I have had many incredible opportunities to learn and grow as both a a pianist, singer, composer, conductor, and educator. Through my studies, I have had the pleasure of working with world-class ensembles including the Vancouver Chamber (Vancouver), Canadian Chamber Choir (Vancouver/Abbotsford), Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra (Winnipeg), Dead of Winter (Winnipeg), Vanguard Jazz Orchestra (Philadelphia) , Lincoln Centre House Band (New York), Mantioba Underground Opera (Winnipeg), and Primetime Big Band (Calgary). I’ve toured extensively with choirs and jazz bands, with international travel to the U.S., France, Spain, U.K. Netherlands, Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and China. I have also performed in nearly every province in Canada, and have worked all over Manitoba, Ontario, B.C., and Alberta in elementary and high school settings teaching vocal health and community building within school choirs. My experience with opera performance has also given me techniques for exploring acting and communication techniques with my students.

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).
