Gender: male
During my time at Concordia University, I pursued a Bachelor's degree in Music with a specialization in Jazz. The program exposed me to a wide range of subjects, including Harmony, Arranging, Improvisation, and Music History. As part of my studies, I had the privilege of delving into the world of Electric Guitar under the guidance of a talented working Jazz guitarist. Throughout our lessons, we engaged in various activities such as transcribing, reading and studying musical charts, and delving into the intricacies of different genres. From Jazz and Funk to Blues, Rock, and Folk, we explored a diverse repertoire of tunes. This hands-on approach to learning allowed me to develop a well-rounded understanding of the different styles and techniques associated with the Electric Guitar. The experience at Concordia University not only enriched my musical knowledge but also honed my skills as a versatile guitarist.
At the age of 10, I began my musical journey as a drummer, but it wasn't long before my fascination shifted towards electric and acoustic guitar. Listening to rock music fueled my passion, and I knew that I wanted to play like my musical heroes. Since then, my musical interests have always been driven by the songs and genres I love and yearn to learn. Starting from the age of 15, I immersed myself in recording and songwriting, honing my skills as a musician and self-producer. This hands-on experience has provided me with valuable insights into the creative process and the art of bringing my musical ideas to life. Throughout my musical journey, I've also had the opportunity to perform with various live acts both in Montreal and Vancouver. These experiences have enriched my understanding of stage performance, collaboration with fellow musicians, and connecting with the audience.

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).
