Teaching Philosophy

Music has been a big part of my life since I was young. I come from a very musical family where we would sing and perform together at different functions. I believe music is a part of the heart of a home and is meant to be shared and enjoyed. I love helping people grow in their passion for music, and I aim to make sure each one of my students pursues their interests in music fully.

Each person has a different learning style, and I believe it is our job as teachers to adapt our lessons to maximize the learning process for each individual. Music is a balm to the soul, and it is a joy to share that through my teaching.

Musical Education

I have a Bachelor of Music in Voice from Dalhousie University and an MA in Music Theory from the University of North Texas.
I have taken private lessons for piano from the age of 6 to the age of 18. I have sung since the age of 6 and have taken lessons in many styles, including pop, musical theatre, Celtic music, jazz, and classical. I have been in many theatre/opera productions with roles such as Cossette in Les Miserable and a witch in Henry Purcell's Dido and Aenaes.

Awards and Distinctions

Teaching Fellow at the University of North Texas

Special Skills and Training

I have had the unique pleasure of working at a previous church where I was involved in the worship team, sound engineering, and set prepping. This opportunity helped equip me for designing sets for gigs and sound setup. I have also had the opportunity to teach aural skills (ear training) at a university, which has allowed me to incorporate the listening and sight-reading aspect of music into my lessons.

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).
