BOOK AN INTERVIEW WITH CHRISTY NOW
From a young age, music and piano playing have been a constant source of joy in my life. I firmly believe that learning to play music leaves a profound and lasting impact, bringing immense enjoyment that stays with us throughout our lifetime.
Name: Christy (Full name will be provided upon registration)
Age: 28
Gender: female
Royal Conservatory of Music - Grade 10 Royal Conservatory of Music - Teaching Elementary Piano Certificate I studied piano from the age of six until the age of eighteen. Recently, I have started the preparation of the ARCT Diploma in Performance.
2nd place in a local piano competition for youths
My piano teacher is an incredible source of inspiration for me. He not only imparts valuable musical knowledge but also encourages us, his students, to showcase our talents through recitals and local competitions. Thanks to his guidance, I've been able to find motivation within myself and gain valuable insights by observing and learning from my peers' piano performances. As an accompanist for an adult choir at my church, I've had the privilege of sharing my musical expertise with fellow adults. Through this experience, I've honed my ability to teach music reading and rhythm, guiding others in their musical journeys.

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).
