Teaching Philosophy

Growing up playing music has enriched my life in countless ways, and providing these same experiences for others interested in studying music is important to me. The skills acquired through learning an instrument can be transferred into many aspects of our lives, and I believe a musical education, whether as a hobby or a profession, is beneficial for everyone to have. I have a background in both Suzuki and RCM teaching approaches, and use both methods in my own teaching.

Musical Education

I have achieved RCM Level 10 Violin, and am currently taking lessons at the University of British Columbia. I began taking private violin lessons at 4 years old, and have experience performing solo, in chamber groups, and in orchestras.

Awards and Distinctions

I have been awarded the Erich Wagner Memorial Scholarship and the Norah Mansell Music Scholarships through UBC.

Special Skills and Training

I have 5 years of experience teaching beginner violinists. I also have my RCM Level 9 piano and have 7 years of experience playing oboe in school bands, as well as my RCM Level 10 Music Theory and RCM Level 10 Music History.

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).
