Teaching Philosophy

I don't care how you sound, or how you play. Heart and desire are the two most important qualities I look for in a student, and if I cannot find that, I'll search for it. I've known too many friends who gave up musical education because it wasn't suitable for their needs or ambitions. I strive to combat this attrition by actually providing students a place where they can learn to, or maintain a love for music. Of course I balance that against hard work and dedication too, but if the spark is not there in a student, I will take time to find that for them.

I will follow structured education plans, or I can take a flexible approach. For me, it is imperative to discuss with parents / family and students alike, what is the reason for the lessons, and why they want music in their life. I won't deny someone the opportunity to be a part of music, but I need to know how I can help you there.

Musical Education

I have attended the following schools:
- Trinity College Dublin - Bachelor in Music
- Royal Irish Academy - Senior Certificate Musical Theatre
- Royal Irish Academy - Grade 7 Pianoforte

Pedagogically, my experience comes from directing and managing Trinitones A Cappella (2019), teaching a diverse group of singers new material, to be performed all over Ireland, and the world. I gained further experience from the nuns of St. Angeles Music Academy, whom taught me piano, afforded me the opportunity to teach both voice and piano for total beginners to students seeking an accelerated education.

From 2013 - 2024, I have held a leading role in over 14 musicals and shows, including Les Mis (Enjolras), Mamma Mia (Sky), All Shook Up (Chad), Avenue Q (Nicky), Evita (Augustin Magaldi), Hairspray (Wilbur), Miss Saigon (John), Jesus Christ Superstar (Herod), Hucklebuck (Lead Singer).

Special Skills and Training

I draw a lot of my performance from my own personal connection how music makes me feel, and how music physically sits with me. I am excited by music, and I love the opportunity to share it and enhance others appreciation for it. I don't come from an overly musical family, so this has left me to understand a lot of what music means to me personally, and with this, I have developed a deep appreciation for how to work with others to broaden their appreciate, and strengthen their participation.

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).
