Teaching Philosophy

Music should be engaging, inspiring, and, above all, fun. I believe students learn best when they enjoy the process, so I strive to create a dynamic and supportive learning environment. Dry, rigid lessons aren’t effective. I adjust my teaching to fit each student’s learning style and personality, ensuring they feel both challenged and encouraged. As a piano and violin teacher, my approach balances technique, expression, and play, helping students build confidence and a deep, lasting connection with music.

Musical Education

My musical journey began over a decade ago, and I have since developed a deep passion for playing the piano and violin. I hold a piano degree (Level 3) from Pars Music Institute (Tehran, Iran). Over the past 12 years, I have participated in numerous concerts and recitals, which have helped me develop my technical skills and performance abilities. I have attended voice and singing classes there for two years as well.
I also have a solid foundation in music theory; I participated in the art universities entrance exams in my home country and ranked 16th among over 17,000 participants.
I also have a Teacher Training Course (TTC) Certificate and am currently a piano and violin teacher at CMA music academy teaching different age groups.

Awards and Distinctions

Winner of the first-place national award in the school's choir group (2016)

Special Skills and Training

My teaching is shaped by both formal training and diverse experiences in different fields. My studies at Pars Music Institute provided me with advanced training in piano and violin, alongside voice and music theory. Additionally, my experience as an EFL instructor has enhanced my ability to communicate complex concepts in a clear, simplified and adaptable way, making lessons accessible for students of all learning styles. I incorporate elements of movement and body awareness into my teaching, drawing inspiration from methods like the Alexander Technique, to help students develop ease and confidence in their playing. Many years of multidisciplinary background in visual arts also continues to inform my teaching, encouraging creativity and personal expression in music.

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).
