About Egan
I try and instill confidence in my students by de-mystifying some of the harder to understand aspects of guitar playing and performance.
BOOK AN INTERVIEW WITH EGAN NOW
My teaching philosophy is pretty simple. Everybody has musical abilities (I don't subscribe to the idea that "you either have rhythm or you don't"), they just need to be calibrated. Therefore, I try and focus on three core areas with students when it comes to learning the guitar. The "3 T's" as I call them are: Tone, Technique, and Time. Focusing on tone means students are conscious of how they're instrument sounds alone, and with a group. Technique just entails having the right skills to execute whatever musical idea the student wants. Time is self-explanatory, the student's ability to play in time and with the appropriate "feel". Either way, I try and instill confidence in my students by de-mystifying some of the harder to understand aspects of guitar playing and performance.
Name: Egan (Full name will be provided upon registration)
Age: 26
Gender: rather not say
I have a D.E.C. in Music from Vanier College, and have been playing guitar for 15 years. I have studied with a variety of University-level guitar teachers in different styles such as Rock, Jazz, Funk, and Blues. Just as well, I have been playing in bands since I was 16, and have performed an uncountable amount of concerts.
This is the place to: -Learn to perform -Learn how to jam -Learn how to relax and play music casually

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).
