Teaching Philosophy

Music is the great communicator, as there are some things that can never be expressed through words and can only be felt through the vibrations of a piano's strings and the resonance they create throughout the instrument. I hope to share the joy that piano has brought me with others in my community.

Musical Education

I began my musical education at the age of five. I graduated from the Music for Young Children program before enrolling in lessons from the Royal Conservatory of Music, studying RCM until the age of 19 before taking a break to pursue other musical ventures. I have completed the requirements for Grade 9 piano and am currently working towards completing my ARCT diploma, cultivating a thorough understanding and technical aptitude for ARCT level performance.
My teachers have included Patti Welder, Barb Zielinksi, and Kathleen Stanyer for History 9 and ARCT Analysis.

Special Skills and Training

I have been active in worship at Brookswood Baptist Church since the age of 14, starting on the keyboard and eventually graduating to the piano. Through this experience, I have become very comfortable and experienced with a wide variety of musical genres outside of Classical, including Country, Rock, Pop, and Gospel. I have also become involved with a local jazz band called the Ol' Jazz Factory, with whom I performed at the 2024 Fort Langley Jazz Festival. Alongside these endeavors, I have performed in the Kiwanis Music Festival several times, both as a solo performer and with my high school concert and jazz bands. My richest musical experiences have undoubtedly come from these opportunities performing with groups, so I highly encourage anyone who is looking to grow musically to become involved with a band!

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).
