Teaching Philosophy

Over the course of my career as a Music instructor, I have consistently worked to inspire and guide students to reach their full musical potential. My teaching philosophy emphasizes a balanced approach that fosters both technical proficiency and artistic expression. My philosophy centers on the belief that music is a powerful tool for professional growth, self- expression, cultural enrichment, but also spiritual and social-emotional growth. I emphasize technical mastery, including proper musical apparatus and sound production, and fosters creativity, curiosity, and a lifelong love of music. My approach is characterized by patience, empathy,andadeepcommitmenttomystudents'success. Ipayagreatattentionin
creating an environment where students feel supported and challenged, helping them to build not only strong performance skills, but also a deep love for music.

Development of Students’ Skills: Throughout my teaching, I have helped students of varying ages and skill levels improve their technical abilities, from beginners to advanced performers. By focusing on individualized lesson plans and tailored exercises, I have guided students to achieve measurable progress, such as passing music exams with distinction and performing at recitals and competitions.

Curriculum and Methodology: My lessons cover a broad range of musical genres, from classical to contemporary, ensuring that students gain versatility in their playing. Additionally, I incorporate music theory, ear training, sight-reading and improvisation to provide a well-rounded education. I plan, assess and report, while maintaining classroom management.

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).
