Teaching Philosophy

I know that each student learns a little differently from other students and that not all of them understand only one way. I bring all the senses to learning and ensure that each and every student completely understands what they are learning and are able to demonstrate these skills themselves. This not only makes them good players but gives them valuable tools to learn in life as well. Sharing my love of music to students motivates them and prepares them for anything in life.

Musical Education

I have a BA in Fine Arts with a specialization in music performance which includes theory, harmony , history and ear training. I taught at the McGill Conservatory for electric bass and violin students. I completed the classical guitar program and double bass program at McGill University. I have been playing professionally for many years for people like Celine Dion, Jean Chretien, Brian Mulroney to name only a few. I performed on a live recording of Shostakovitch's piano concerto at CBC Radio Hall. Being a professional teacher and performer for many years, I have extensive experience in working and collaborating with students and colleagues. Sharing my love of music with students not only makes them good players but prepares them for anything in their future. My objective is to use my experience, knowledge, and work ethics to provide consistent results and become an invaluable asset to any organization.

Special Skills and Training

My father was an excellent violin player and teacher. Every one of his students stood out as far as playing and learning was concerned and went above and beyond to ensure each student was happy with themselves and their performances. I have instilled the same qualities in myself that I learned from my father. I have performed for Brian Mulroney, Jean Chretien, Celine Dion and recorded a live record with the Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovitch, among many other work related projects.

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).
