I love music! One of the greatest joys of being a musician is getting to share music and to grow with students. As a teacher, I want my students to become better players, but more importantly I want students to learn to love and continue to love the art.
Name: Carolyn (Full name will be provided upon registration)
Age: 28
Gender: female
I have attended the following schools: - Juilliard School - Master's of Music - Glenn Gould School - Artist Diploma - University of Toronto - Bachelor of Music
I am a grateful receipt of the Temerty Orchestral fellowship during my studies at the Glenn Gould School and other scholarships during my time at Juilliard. Other awards that I have been awarded include an orchestral prize from the National Arts Centre Bursary Competition and an award from the National Youth Orchestra of Canada.
My musical career has brought me all over the world! I have played festivals in Germany, Switzerland, the United States of America and Canada. As a chamber musician, I have been invited to Manhattan, Miami and London, England. I love playing music and I am very grateful to all of the collaborations.

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
Carolyn 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.
