Teaching Philosophy

Music has always been a way for me to express emotions that words couldn’t capture. I want my students to experience that same freedom through the piano. Whether they are just starting or returning after a break, my goal is to create a supportive and encouraging environment where they can grow as musicians and people.

I believe in building a strong technical foundation, but I also believe that learning should be joyful. Piano is not just about playing notes; it’s about connecting with the music and finding personal expression. Every student is unique, and I tailor my lessons to meet their individual needs and goals, ensuring they stay inspired and engaged.

I strive to make each lesson a place of creativity, patience, and progress. Music is a journey, and I am honored to guide my students through it, helping them build confidence, discover their own voice, and develop a lasting love for playing the piano.

Musical Education

I have attended the Tehran Conservatory of Music/Tehran, Iran/, where I completed higher education training course in Piano Performance as well as Piano Teaching.

Special Skills and Training

My training at the Tehran Conservatory of Music laid the foundation for my piano skills, but my experience extends beyond the classroom. I’ve participated in masterclasses and music festivals, working with musicians from various backgrounds, which has enriched my teaching and performance. I’ve also pursued additional studies in Piano Pedagogy and contemporary teaching methods, allowing me to adapt my approach to meet the needs of every student, from children to adults. These experiences, both as a performer and educator, help me bring a unique perspective to my lessons and foster a love for music in my students.

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).
