I believe that music is an innate part of everyone, and should be nurtured. Singing is a natural human instinct, and everyone can do it. Learning proper techniques can help alleviate vocal stress as well as everyday stress. It is a way to tap into our human emotions. Whether a child or an adult, voice lessons are fun and engaging.
Name: Aileen (Full name will be provided upon registration)
Age: 40's
Gender: female
I have attended the following schools earning the following degrees: • Laurentian University - Bachelor of Arts (major - music) • Queen's University - Bachelor of Education • Royal Conservatory of Music - Grade 8 Voice My principal teachers include Marion Harvey Hannah and Rosanne Simunovic.
I always loved singing, and in grade 3 I had a teacher who decided I needed voice lessons. This was the beginning of my life as a singer. I started singing at my church every Sunday and joined our local community choir. I took every opportunity to sing and still love performing. I teach music and voice lessons, and just love to give people the same opportunity to develop the love of singing that I was given at a young age!

Rates and Studio Policies
Registration Fee: $25.00 (One-time lifetime registration fee may be used by all family members)
Rates for instruction:
30 minute private lesson: $39.00
45 minute private lesson: $49.00
60 minute private lesson: $59.00
Travel charge: additional $15.00 per visit (for lessons in a client's home as opposed to my studio)
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).
Online lessons
Aileen can provide online instruction. While other platforms are possible BAH strongly recommends the use of the Zoom video conferencing platform as it is optimized for music lessons and audio quality.
