Teaching Philosophy

Music is more than just notes and rhythms—it's a language of expression, creativity, and connection. As a seasoned music educator and professional bassist with over five years of experience, I am committed to helping you discover your unique value in the world of music. Whether you're a beginner just starting your musical journey or an experienced musician seeking to refine your skills, my courses are designed to inspire, educate, and empower you.

Musical Education

I have over five years of experience as a music teacher and professional bassist. My journey in music started with earning certifications, including Grade 8 Bass Guitar from Rockschool London(RSL) and Grade 8 Music Theory from the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music(ABRSM). These qualifications have equipped me with a strong foundation in both performance and music theory.

As a self-employed music tutor in Hong Kong, I prepared teaching materials, coached students on instrumental techniques, and helped them grow their confidence in music. I also worked as a live performer, collaborating with band members for various events such as mini concerts, wedding performances, and bar sessions.

In addition to teaching and performing, I compose and arrange music in diverse styles. My ability to work across genres has allowed me to create original pieces and bring fresh ideas to performances and teaching.

I aim to inspire my students by sharing my passion for music and helping them develop their skills, whether they are beginners or aspiring professionals. My teaching focuses on creating a personalized and enjoyable learning experience for each student.

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).
