Teaching Philosophy

I also offer a classical guitar for beginner and intermediate students.

For this style of lessons, we would start by working through books one and two of Aaron Shearer’s Classic Guitar Technique. After those, we would move on to appropriate level pieces by Fernando Sor, Bach, Mauro Giuliani, and others.

Along the way, I would supplement the lessons with exercises to help with specific difficulties the student is facing. I would also work on building a knowledge of basic theory and scales.

Things covered in this type of curriculum are:

Proper technique and positioning of the right and left hand for classical guitar
Developing the ability to read music
Scales and theory
Learning a repertoire of easy to intermediate classical guitar pieces

Musical Education

I have graduated BA from the Vancouver Community College, on Classical Guitar in guitar performance. I am also earned the 9th grade RCM guitar Diploma. My teachers is Adrian Verdejo and Hans Nguyen. I am also attended master class with renowned classical guitarist such as Michael Kolk, Mark Teichoi, Daniel Bolshoi. I also studied voice with Paula Kremer and doyley Healy for minor study. I am a member of guitar ensemble of Vancouver guitar society. in addition I love to teach the music theory both basic and intermediate.

Awards and Distinctions

I have both 1st prize for Guitar duo for Kiwanis music Festival and VCC student awards

Special Skills and Training

If you’re an adult beginner, I understand that you might feel a little self conscious about delving into something new. Rest assured that I’ve taught many adult beginners, ranging in age up into their 80’s. There’s no reason to feel funny about beginning to learn an instrument as an adult. I’ve seen plenty of people do it, enjoy it, and be successful with it.

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).
