Teaching Philosophy

I believe music has the power to connect, inspire and transform lives. Music is at the core of who I am. I believe that every person has an innate musicality. My teaching philosophy is rooted in patience, encouragement and adaptability. No one student is the same, and I want to ensure that each student learns in a way that suits their strengths. I want to help students build a solid foundation while still nurturing their musical voice. I create a supportive and engaging environment where curiosity and confidence can flourish.

Musical Education

I have studied piano, and music theory since the age of 3. I have obtained my RCM level 9 and am currently working on completing more. I am currently attending Wilfred Laurier University, where I am completing music courses such as composition and theory.

Special Skills and Training

I have been surrounded by music my whole life and started learning from an early age. I have performed recitals in and outside of school and have been the musical director for 3 musical productions within my high school, and started teaching piano 3 years ago. These experiences have enriched me, not only as a performer but as a teacher.

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).
