I aim to give students a foundation so that they may bring their skills to any platform they choose such as an orchestra, a school concert or an at home concert for mom and dad. There are also students who learn for enjoyment and dont necessarily want to perform that's ok too. We are here to open doors for students into the music world which can be exciting and scary at the same time. I Try to make the lessons as fun and interesting as possible. Learning should be enjoyable but also requires hard work.
Name: Jennifer (Full name will be provided upon registration)
Age: 40's
Gender: female
Completed a BMUS at Wilfrid Laurier. Attended several summer chamber music camps such as Quartet Fest in Waterloo, Domain Forget in Quebec and Tafflemusic summer institute. I started out as a Suzuki student in my hometown in Newmarket and as a Teen transferred to Conservatory grading system w my teacher Kathy Rappaport. I've had several well educated and successful teachers over the years who gave me the encouragement to get to this level.
I am open to teaching special needs students but this should be in agreement with a parent or guardian. So that their goals and special requirements are met in the lessons.

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
Jennifer 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.
Jennifer's Studio Location
Jennifer offers lessons from her studio. Please note that map locations are based on the postal code of the teachers studio. address will be released to you if needed.
