My greatest passion lies in guiding students to see the big picture of music – not only as a path of learning but also as a source of pure enjoyment. I believe that music is a journey that encompasses both technical growth and emotional fulfillment.

Name: Danny (Full name will be provided upon registration)

Age: 28

Gender: male

I majored in voice and percussion for 4 years through the Waterloo Region Integrated Arts Program in Kitchener, Ontario. During my 4-year program, I had the honour of being heavily involved with various music extracurriculars which included concert choir, chamber choir, male choir, concert band, and musicals. I was also the pianist for the jazz band.

In 2014, I was one of the top 10 finalists in 93.7 Faith FM's Shining Star voice competition. Since then, I have written for and have been featured on several albums.

From a young age, I immersed myself in the joy of playing drums, piano, bass, and guitar at my church. As I grew older, my passion for music only flourished, leading me to take on the role of music director at my local church during high school. Today, I am thrilled to specialize in teaching a diverse range of musical skills, including voice, songwriting, piano, guitar, ukulele, drums, and bass. It brings me immense joy to share my love for music with students of all ages, and I am dedicated to helping them explore their musical potential and nurture their artistic talents.

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

Danny 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.

Danny's Studio Location

Danny offers lessons from his studio. Please note that map locations are based on the postal code of the teachers studio. address will be released to you if needed.
