Teaching Philosophy

I place a strong emphasis on individualized training that is catered to the particular requirements and goals of each student. My substantial training in music demonstrates my commitment to my profession.

I am passionate about assisting the little musicians in pursuing their future musical dreams. My relief is “there is no bad student, only unqualified teachers. I believe interest and curiosity go first. That is why I am patient, optimized, and always willing to improve my students’s musical comprehensiveness and abilities.

Musical Education

I am studying clarinet peformance major at University of Toronto. Also, I have attended another accounting bachelor from Queensland University of Technology.

I started piano from the age of seven and clarient at the age of ten. My teachers were classically trained. Now I am studying clarient performance with renowed clarientists Joaquin Valdepenas and Peter Stoll.

Awards and Distinctions

I have been the principal clarientist for Wind Symphony of Uoft between 2022-2024. In this year, I have successfully participated the Hatch 2024 Music festival as the clarinetist and bass clarinetist with Continuum Contemporary Music Ensemble.

Special Skills and Training

I am fluent in both English, French and Maderin, and have worked with kids of all ages and needs, including those who have learning, developmental, and mental health issues. My teaching offers lessons on clarinet, piano, ear training, and music appreciation. Schedule a lesson with me right away.

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).
