Music has played a huge role in my life as I started piano from a young age and took on many more instruments as I grew older, including the clarinet, the flute, the saxophone, the guitar, and the string bass. It has taught me more than just the simple skills and techniques but more so cultivating my discipline and dedication. I didn't always enjoy learning the piano and constantly dreaded going to class as well as practicing at home when I was younger because it often just felt tedious and like a chore. However, as I grew to understand the music and discover the feeling behind each piece, music became one of my strongest passions and I was inspired by my instructors to take on more instruments and to work hard to improve my skills. Therefore, I hope to inspire others who are growing in their musical education and play a role in their progress. I am passionate about sharing my knowledge and experiences so that others may equally discover a joy in playing music.
Name: Anny (Full name will be provided upon registration)
Age: 19
Gender: female
I have studied piano privately from the age of six and started teaching at the age of sixteen. I have successfully completed level 10 in the royal conservatory of music as well as ARCT Harmony and History.
I was taught for many years by a pianist who attended a music university in China long before I was born, and has great amount of teaching experience. She was very strict and definitely taught me the discipline that is needed in order to succeed. I completed RCM level 10 under her and during this time, I often assisted my younger sister, who was also studying piano, in her practices at home. Through that, I was able to gain some insight into helping others and I realized that teaching was something I wanted to pursue.

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).
