Teaching Philosophy

I believe music is a form expression - it is an ingrained part of the human psyche and speaks to deep parts of ourselves and our communities in ways that other arts do not. Discovering music, taking joy in it, and deepening your relationship with music is the primary focus of music education.

For young students, it is most important to build confidence, to find one's voice, and to learn to express one's self. Being surrounded by positive role models is essential, and I encourage participation from parents and other family members.

For prepatory students (moving onto university or career-related music endeavours), refining techniques, understanding what makes art art and how art holds a place in the human existence are key points of focus. Discovering beauty and meaning in music, and communicating through performance, is paramount.

For older students, music is a valuable pastime. It connects you to a community and enriches your experience of life. Consistency, collaboration, and enjoyment are areas of focus.

Musical Education

I began studies in piano at age 11; entered the Faculty of Music Music at the University of Manitoba and attained the degree of Bachelor of Music at Lakehead University in 2015. My teachers were Charles Horton, author of the well-known music theory textbook 'Harmony Through Melody' and Evgeny Chugunov.

I also completed Orff Certification Level I with the renowned Joan Linklater.

My studies in folk music feature teachers such as Pierre Schryer, Jake Charron, Patti Kusturok, and Jeremy Rusu.

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).
