Teaching Philosophy

For me, teaching music is about more than just notes and technique — it’s about helping students connect with themselves and enjoy the process of learning. I want my students to feel comfortable, encouraged, and curious every step of the way.
I’ve studied cello, piano, and music theory in a classical setting, and I’ve also been part of choirs and orchestras, so I understand the balance between personal practice and teamwork. I try to bring that same balance into my teaching: structure and discipline, but also fun, expression, and creativity.
Since I’ve lived in Argentina, Korea, and now Canada — and speak Spanish, English, and Korean — I’m very used to working with people from different backgrounds. I try to adapt my teaching to fit each student’s personality, pace, and goals. Whether we’re working on technique, reading music, or just exploring sound, I want my students to enjoy what they’re doing and feel proud of their progress.
More than anything, I want to help others find their own voice through music, just like I’ve found mine. It’s really about growing together — as musicians and as people.

Musical Education

I studied cello, piano, and music theory at the Music Academy of the Universidad Adventista del Plata from 2015 to 2020. My training was rooted in classical tradition, and I received consistent one-on-one instruction throughout those years. The music program placed strong emphasis on ear training, technique, and ensemble performance.

Alongside my private instruction, I was an active member of both the orchestra and choir throughout middle and high school at the Instituto Adventista del Plata. This experience gave me opportunities to perform regularly, develop a strong sense of musical collaboration, and deepen my appreciation for both instrumental and vocal music.

Growing up in a trilingual environment (Spanish, English, and Korean), I’ve always been drawn to the expressive and connective power of music across cultures. My training as a musician helped shape my discipline, sensitivity, and creative spirit—qualities I continue to carry into everything I do.

Special Skills and Training

I bring a unique combination of musical training, teaching experience, and cultural adaptability to everything I do. I studied classical cello, piano, and music theory for five years at the Music Academy of the Universidad Adventista del Plata, and have experience performing in both orchestras and choirs. I’m fluent in Spanish, English, and Korean, which allows me to teach and connect with students from diverse backgrounds with ease. Having lived in Argentina, Korea, and Canada, I’ve learned to adapt quickly to different environments and communicate across cultures. In addition to my music background, I’ve taught both English and Spanish to learners of all ages, developing a patient, supportive, and flexible teaching style. I’m responsible, motivated, and genuinely enjoy helping students grow.

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).
