Teaching Philosophy

I started learning piano when I was small, and it quickly became more than just an after-school activity—it became a part of who I am. Over the years, music has been my way of expressing emotion, building discipline, and connecting with others. I believe that every student brings their own potential to music, and my role as a teacher is to help them discover that potential in a joyful and supportive way.
In my lessons, I combine structure with creativity. I focus on building strong foundations—like technique, rhythm, and theory—while also encouraging musical expression and curiosity. Whether it’s a young beginner or a student preparing for advanced exams, I tailor each lesson to the student’s unique pace, personality, and goals. I want students to feel proud of their progress and to experience music as something meaningful and fun, not stressful or intimidating.

Teaching has shown me that learning music is never just about the notes—it’s about developing confidence, focus, and self-expression. My goal is to help students grow not only as musicians but as people, through the beauty and discipline that music offers.

Musical Education

I began learning piano at the age of seven and have studied classical piano ever since. I received my formal training through the International Christian Quality Music Primary and Secondary School, where I developed a strong foundation in technique, expression, and performance. I progressed through the ABRSM exam system, completing Grade 8 in Piano Practical and Grade 5 in Theory, and I’m currently continuing my music theory studies through the Royal Conservatory of Music at Level 9.
My musical education emphasized classical repertoire across various styles and eras, and I was fortunate to study under several dedicated teachers who challenged and supported me along the way. My training also included years of live performance experience, including solo and ensemble playing in church and music festivals. These experiences helped me grow not just as a pianist, but also as a confident, expressive musician.

Special Skills and Training

I began piano lessons at age seven and quickly developed a deep connection to music through consistent practice and performance. I’ve studied both the ABRSM and RCM systems—completing ABRSM Grade 8 in Piano and Grade 5 in Theory, and currently working toward RCM Level 8 Theory and more. My experience performing regularly in church taught me how to be flexible, expressive, and confident in live settings. These experiences, combined with my current teaching, allow me to create lessons that are structured, encouraging, and tailored to help each student grow with joy and purpose.

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).
