Teaching Philosophy

Music is an essential part of life. We can express emotions, speak and hear through music. Even in those who have never played an instrument in their life, the understanding of music’s effect is present. Many students get discouraged with the tedious and complicated theoretical side of music. My teaching philosophy is to teach the essentials in fun ways that excites the student. My goal is to put a smile on the student’s face after every lesson.

Musical Education

I have graduated from Algonquin College with a Music Industry Arts diploma, and am currently finishing a Bachelor of Music at Carleton University. I come from a musical family and have learned guitar from my father since the age of 8.

Special Skills and Training

My father taught me at a young age. As a young child, I was impatient and was not interested in learning the basics of theory and technique. Now, as an adult, I can take those lessons and find fun ways to introduce the same concepts without it seeming tedious. I have specialized in rock, pop and country guitar at Carleton University, and am crossing over into jazz territory at the moment.

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).
