Teaching Philosophy

Expression is one of the most important parts of being alive. Being trained specifically in storytelling (Musical Theatre), I will strive to bring out not only the notes of the music, but the story and subtext of the piece. I hope that this approach will give the student a reason to love the art & music that they are making.
I believe in helping the student attain their own goals. The time we spend together will solely be focused in serving the student. My promise is that any time spent will at all times bring either growth or joy to the student.

Musical Education

I have an honours Bachelor of Musical Theatre Performance from Sheridan College, which included a Pop Performance component.
Having grown up in a musician's family, my family's hobby was to sightread acappella songs and harmonize with each other. I have plenty of Music Theory knowledge that I imbue in teaching Voice & Guitar.
I have trained professionally as a singer, receiving coaching from many different teachers, resulting in a wide-range of approaches. This helps me in finding the best tailored approach to the individual student.
I have also been playing guitar for more than 15 years, and have played in bands, served in church, and done musician gigs for theatre shows.

Awards and Distinctions

I have also received a Dora Award (Toronto-equivalent of an Emmy Award in New York) for Best Ensemble, and Best Performance in 2025 for the show Alligator Pie at SoulPepper Theatre.

In 2021, I receive the Jon Kaplan Award for Excellence that is annually-awarded to a single theatre student within Toronto that shows excellence in their studies and leadership among their peers.

Special Skills and Training

I have participated not only in the Musician's World such as playing with bands, and gigging as a musician, but I have my feet deeply planted in the Musical Theatre scene of Toronto as well. I have done shows at SoulPepper, Thousand Islands Playhouse, Capitol Theatre in Port Hope, Musical Stage Company, and have attended the prestigious Musical Theatre program at Sheridan College.

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).
