Teaching Philosophy

I truly believe that every student, whatever their background or musical ability, has the potential to communicate and express themselves through music, so I try to make that happen for them as much as possible! I really believe in a student-centered approach that encourages creativity, critical thinking, and a deep appreciation of different musical styles and cultures. I try to create an inclusive and supportive environment where students feel safe, explore their musical interests, and develop at their own pace. By integrating performance, theory, and aural skills, I not only want to develop technical literacy, but also to instill a lifelong love of music and teach students to share their unique knowledge with the world.

Musical Education

I received my Bachelor of Music degree from the Kharkiv State University of Arts, Ukraine, which included guitar and mandolin lessons, orchestra conducting, and advanced music theory.
I studied guitar and mandolin from the age of seven at the Music School, Music College and later at the University of Arts. I also participated in various master classes in Ukraine and Europe. My teachers have classical education and are well known and respected in their instruments.

Awards and Distinctions

Special Skills and Training

I've had the incredible opportunity to study with some truly outstanding performers and teachers. Thanks to them, I've been able to achieve some amazing results in performing and have even become a laureate of international competitions! I've also had the chance to attend numerous international master classes in Germany, Austria, Russia, and Ukraine. These have allowed me to expand my horizons and gain priceless insights from colleagues from all over the globe.

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).
