Music has been the most prominent reoccurring theme throughout my life so far. I first fell in love with music playing songs around campfires. As I grew more passionate about my instruments and pursued an education in music, I discovered the satisfaction that comes with practice and developed an appreciation for the consistency music brings to my life. My teaching philosophy takes a passion-based approach and focuses on exploring and fostering students musical interests. As a young musician, I know how important it is to keep things interesting for a kid learning a new instrument. I believe that by harnessing a students initial interest in music I can open the door to a more technical approach.

Age: 24
Gender: male
I have a diploma in Jazz Performance from Humber College, specializing in vocals. I have been singing and playing guitar since the age of 10. As a camp counsellor I spent four summers working with children where I taught guitar, vocals and drums on a daily basis.
Aside from playing music, I am also passionate about the live sound industry, recording, and producing music. I have a wide breadth of knowledge concerning studios, and recording. I am an avid songwriter and have released various singles over the past few years. I have also taken 3 years of private drum lessons and 2 years of private voice 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).
