Teaching Philosophy

My teaching philosophy focuses on the enjoyment and fun of music. At the same time, I teach the importance of learning and perfecting details to ensure a deep understanding of musicality.

Music is found in many aspects of our lives, from day-to-day life to festivities, nature, history, and other educational materials. Piano lessons are a great way to build a deeper connection with these aspects and to help further develop the mind.

Musical Education

I am expected to complete my BA in Communication at Simon Fraser University in December 2024 and my convocation ceremony in June 2025.

I have studied piano with my private teacher since I was five and am currently working towards my Level 10 harmony and ARCT Diploma in Piano Performance. My teacher was classically trained and focused heavily on attention to musical details. I studied the RCM program with her and also trained for recitals. My teacher got her qualifications in Hong Kong and followed the ABRSM program.

Special Skills and Training

Since I was five, I have had consistent piano lessons with my private teacher. My teacher is a dedicated instructor who has over 40 years of experience in the musical field. Over the years, I have developed a comprehensive understanding of musicality, music theory history, and pedagogy. She is my mentor in piano and also in teaching. I have over 20 years of experience with the piano and over 6 years of teaching experience. I teach beginners to all levels of the RCM program and specialize in teaching beginners the fundamental materials of piano.

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).
