Teaching Philosophy

Teaching piano to kids is my passion because it brings me so much joy to see them light up when they discover something new or achieve a small milestone. I love the moments when their eyes sparkle after playing their first song or when they finally understand a tricky concept. It’s not just about the music—it’s about creating a positive, supportive space where they feel safe to explore, make mistakes, and grow. There’s something incredibly special about being part of their journey and watching them build confidence, not only in their music but in themselves.

Musical Education

I have completed RCM Level 10.
I have studied piano and with it music theory and history for 12+ years.

Special Skills and Training

Music is a powerful form of self-expression, allowing us to communicate emotions and thoughts that words often can't capture. Whether it’s through playing an instrument, singing, or simply listening, music provides an outlet to express feelings of joy, sadness, excitement, or even frustration. For many, it becomes a way to process and cope with emotions, offering comfort and a sense of release. When words fail, music has the ability to speak directly to the heart, helping to heal, connect, and offer understanding. It’s a universal language that transcends barriers and allows people to truly express who they are.

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).
