Teaching Philosophy

As a music educator, my mission is to ignite a lifelong passion for music in my students. I believe that music is not only a form of expression but a powerful tool for personal growth, creativity, and community. My teaching philosophy centers around creating an immersive and hands-on learning environment where students feel empowered to take risks, explore new ideas, and discover their unique voices.

I strive to balance technical skill development with creative freedom, guiding students through both structured lessons and open-ended projects. My role is to mentor, inspire, and equip them with the tools they need to succeed as musicians, whether they aim to perform, produce, or simply enjoy music on a deeper level. I also emphasize real-world applications, drawing on my experiences as a producer and mix engineer to teach the full scope of music-making—from conception to final production.

Ultimately, I believe that each student is an artist in their own right, and it’s my goal to help them realize their potential. By fostering a supportive and collaborative learning environment, I hope to inspire a new generation of musicians who are not only technically skilled but deeply connected to their craft.

Musical Education

I took private lessons myself for years. Even after I first started teaching at age 14, I still kept up with lessons because I enjoyed them and it helped me become a better teacher. Most importantly I am a graduate of Berklee College of Music with a Master's Certificate in Writing and Producing Music. I have taught students from a very young age all the way up to students in their golden years. My curriculum reflects my professional approach to not just playing your instrument but how to utilize all the tools and processes needed to record music. As well as teaching how to play along with other musicians.

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).
