Teaching Philosophy

Music brings joy in so many lives and I try to open the hearts and minds to everyone who is interested in learning how to play piano. Every child and every student is unique and I adapt my teaching techniques to everyone, the way they need.
Learning Music helps everyone to have a well rounded personality and appreciate the beauty of Arts.

Musical Education

I started to study music when I was 8 years old, in my hometown in Romania. After one year, my teacher encouraged me to go study in a well-known art school in a bigger city. At the age of 17, I got a Diploma from the art school “Octav Bancila” and after that I went to university for 5 years. From 1998-2003 I studied music at the University of Music and Arts “George Enescu”, Iasi, Romania. In 2003 I graduated with a Bachelor Degree in Music Education, Musicology and Music Pedagogy. During my years in university, I taught Music Theory, Music History and Piano at the Art school “Octav Bancila”, the same school that I attended when I was younger. After I got my Bachelor Degree in Music, I took courses and I received a Certification for teaching in Waldorf schools, schools that are based on Steiner pedagogy and where Music and Arts have an important role in the children’s education. In 2008, I did a training for Kindermusik teaching and she can teach Kindermusik classes and group lessons.

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).
