Teaching Philosophy

The basis of all music studies revolves around the goal to awaken musical responsiveness and creativity with each student. My teaching method is based on principles of long-term motivation alongside the evolution of the individual students' musical taste, creativity and imagination in piano playing. The success of each student requires a deep understanding of the students' psychology and goals, and finding the appropriate tools to ensure the student reaches their maximum artistic potential. The creation of a nurturing, sustainable environment at lessons paves the path for a robust teacher-student-parent alliance.

I have attended the following musical institutions:
- State Conservatory of Armenia - Doctorate of Chamber Ensemble

Special Skills and Training

In addition to being a full time piano teacher, I am also a professional accompanist, specializing in string and voice divisions, actively working with students preparing for RCM examinations, festivals and competitions. This extensive experience has also greatly enriched my pedagogy.

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).
