Teaching Philosophy

Music is a profound source of relief, a sanctuary from the stresses and monotony of daily life. For me, playing the piano is more than a hobby—it’s an immersive experience that brings pure joy. It’s the time when I disconnect from the world, allowing my emotions to flow freely. Whether I’m feeling sad, happy, trapped, stressed, or frustrated, the piano has always been my outlet—a powerful way to channel my energy, detach from overwhelming emotions, and regain a sense of control over my life.

This transformative journey has greatly improved my well-being, and I deeply believe that anyone embarking on their own musical journey can experience similar benefits.

Moreover, the seamless coordination between the melodies in my mind and the intricate movement of my fingers on the keys is a remarkable exercise for both the mind and body. It keeps my thoughts sharp, my muscles engaged, and my spirit alive.

Musical Education

I hold the Licentiate Diploma in Recital (Solo Piano) from Trinity College London, a prestigious recognition of my dedication to piano performance. My journey with the piano began at the age of four, progressing from group lessons to private instruction at seven. I achieved the ABRSM Grade 8 Practical with Merit and successfully completed the ABRSM Grade 8 Theory. Before earning my Licentiate Diploma, I was awarded the Associate Diploma (ATCL) from Trinity College London.

As a testament to my commitment to music, I was a finalist in the Roland Piano Festival (Open Classical Piano Solo Category) and participated in the ASEAN International Chopin Piano Competition, showcasing my skills on prominent platforms.

Currently, I am actively composing original music, blending technical expertise with creativity to craft unique pieces that reflect my artistic journey.

Special Skills and Training

have the ability to play the piano by ear—once I’ve heard a song, I can play it back effortlessly. Additionally, I possess perfect pitch, a discovery that remains a cherished memory. During an ABRSM exam, the examiner suspected I might have this rare skill. To test it, he asked me to stand in a corner, far from the piano, where I couldn’t see the keys. He played a few notes, and I identified each one correctly. I still remember him muttering, “Impressive!”—though at the time, I didn’t fully realize I had perfect pitch. I followed the ABRSM syllabus and achieved the Grade 8 Practical certificate at just 13 years old. My experience extends beyond solo performances; I’ve played piano for high school choir teams in competitions and led congregational singing at my college church. Currently, I’m actively engaged in composing original songs, channeling my passion for music into creating new and meaningful works.

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).
