Teaching Philosophy

I love playing the piano and believe music helps children grow into better individuals. My main goal as a teacher is to make piano playing enjoyable for students. When kids have fun, they're more motivated to practice and feel proud of their progress.

In today's fast-paced, tech-driven world, learning piano teaches patience and discipline. It shows kids the value of working hard for something and enjoying the results later. By balancing fun with dedication, I aim to help students become skilled pianists and well-rounded individuals.

Musical Education

I have attended the following schools earning the following degrees:
-Chinese University of Hong Kong - Bachelor of Arts, Music, Major in Piano, Pedagogy stream.

I studied piano from the age of 5, I finished my ATCL at the age of 16 and started teaching piano.

Special Skills and Training

-Trinity College London - ATCL piano recital with distinction -ABRSM - Grade 8 piano with merit -ABRSM - Grade 8 theory I began teaching piano and music theory in one-on-one sessions at the age of 16, which allowed me to develop personalized teaching methods tailored to individual student needs. Later, I served as the head music teacher at a primary school for a year, where I conducted regular music classes and organized extracurricular activities. During this time, I integrated STEM concepts into the music curriculum, enhancing students' learning experiences by connecting musical principles with science and technology.

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).
