Teaching Philosophy

I believe that the foundation of music is dedication. Whether it's vocal, string instruments, or any other field, consistent daily practice is essential for developing skills and delivering strong performances on stage. When I teach singing, the first thing I emphasize is naturalness. Sometimes, students try so hard to excel that their expressions or the music can come across as unnatural. I aim to help my students develop the ability to sing in a way that feels natural and comfortable.

Musical Education

I graduated from the Department of classical Vocal Music at Dankook University. I first encountered music when I started playing the piano at a young age. As I continued with the piano, I realized how much I enjoyed singing, which led me to decide to apply for the vocal program at the music university. After entering there, I grew to love vocal music even more and felt that I was able to study it more deeply.

Special Skills and Training

My aunt majored in vocal music. I’m a junior who graduated from the same university as her. She came to Canada to pursue her graduate studies at RCM. Since I was young, she introduced me to music by playing the piano and singing, which helped me become naturally comfortable with it. I have performed many times as a tenor in a classical group and have appeared on TV shows. Through these experiences, I have gained a clear understanding of how to present myself beautifully on stage.

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).
