Teaching Philosophy

Everyone needs music in their lives! Music is the key to improving your mental, emotional, physical health and well being. The skills and coordination developed from learning music is transferable to everything you do in your life. Music is all around us, as well as a part of us.

As your music teacher, I will have lessons that are fun, safe, and respectful. No matter the age, you can expect an environment where your teacher listens to what you want, and need. We will learn a lot together and enjoy the process.
Let’s make music together!

Musical Education

I have studied classical piano, as well as music theory, privately since I was five years old. I am currently continuing my piano studies at the University of Toronto, in my second year undergraduate degree. I have also studied the bass clarinet since I was thirteen years old, and am also participating in performance classes at the University of Toronto on this instrument. I have competed in provincial and national festivals on both the piano and bass clarinet, at high standards to both my private instructor and band program.

Special Skills and Training

I have taught students of all ages, from young children to grandparents. In my first year of teaching, I realized that every single one of my students have a different reason for being here, in a lesson with me. Every single one of my students had a different story on what music meant to them, and why they love it. As they bring their stories to me as well as all different types of music they wanted to learn, I got better at building a personal connection with each and every one of them, as well as every student I had in the future. This is an interpersonal skill I carry with me at all times. As I pursue my own musical journey too, I always make sure to take great consideration to each and every one of my students’ own perspective and journey to music as well.

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).
