Teaching Philosophy

As a passionate guitarist and dedicated educator, I believe that learning to play the guitar is a journey of self-expression, creativity, and personal growth. My teaching philosophy is rooted in the idea that every student is unique, and my goal is to tailor my instruction to fit individual needs and aspirations.

By blending fundamental techniques with personalized lessons, I strive to foster both confidence and competence. I emphasize the importance of practice and perseverance, but also believe in making learning engaging and fun. Through a mix of structured lessons and creative exploration, my goal is to help students not only become proficient guitarists but also develop a lifelong love for music.

Musical Education

Recent graduate of Fanshawe's Music Industry Arts program in London Ontario. I've played in several bands over the span of 10 years and have 12+ years of guitar playing under my belt.

Special Skills and Training

Growing up, I was inspired by my father, a dedicated guitarist, whose passion and method shaped my own approach to teaching. With a foundation built on his influence and my diverse musical experiences, including performing and composing, I aim to create a supportive and engaging environment for students. My focus is on balancing technical skill with personal expression, helping each student find their unique voice on the guitar while enjoying the learning process. My goal is to create a welcoming and dynamic learning environment where students can explore their musical interests and build their skills at their own pace. I believe that every student has a unique voice and story, and I’m committed to helping each one find their path on the guitar. Just as my father’s influence guided me, I hope to inspire and support my students as they embark on their own musical journeys.

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).
