Teaching Philosophy

I believe that creating a positive and supportive lesson environment is key to enjoying playing your instrument. I strive to create a constructive lesson that will allow students to enjoy making music.

Musical Education

I am currently a bachelor of music student at UBC Music majoring in violin performance. I started learning violin when I was 7 years old and my teachers have included members of the VSO. I also have lots of experience playing in orchestras and string ensembles.

Awards and Distinctions

RCM Violin Level 8 Regional Gold Medal Award

Special Skills and Training

I have completed RCM Level 10 with first class honours standing and am currently in the process of completing ARCT. I have performed multiple times in the VSO School of Music's annual String Festival and have achieved multiple Gold Certificates. I have extensive experience working with children, as I was a summer camp leader for 3 years, and I volunteer regularly at my church's children's ministry as a teacher. Because of these experiences, I am skilled at facilitating lessons and communicating age-appropriately to children of all ages.

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).
