Teaching Philosophy

Music is the cornerstone of my life. From a very early age, I fell in love in music making. Not only was it a tool to bring people together but also an opportunity to discover self. Through my education in music, I've learned the values of patience, dedication and grit. Without these components, I cannot be the musician that I am today. I find joy in sharing my experiences with students and creating an environment where they too, can find their joy in music.

Musical Education

With over 15 years in music education, I have built a repertoire and musical skills. I graduated RCM ARCT with a 92 and have competed in various competitions. I was a gold medalist in the CMC competition as well as a young steinway pianist earlier on in my career. I am currently in UBC's Concert Winds as a Euphonium player and have been trained by professionals at the University of British Columbia. I was also a part of the Vancouver School District's Honour band as a Euphonium player.

Special Skills and Training

As an avid lover for music, I have started playing professionally at the age of 3. I have been taught by Wang Shuang and David Vandereyk whom have both instilled me a strong sense of musicality. I have competed in various competitions and have excelled in each one. My love for music has also guided me to become the president of my high school's music club, through organizing senior home performances, to busking events. These experiences have instilled a passion in music and I would love to share this passion and dedication to my students.

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).
