Music has been an essential part of my life. Music is life lasting joy and fun. I strongly believe that music completes us as human beings and it is a wonderful vehicle of expression. Besides that, I conceive my students musical training as a key instrument for their personal growths. I am a strong believer that every time we listen to music or make music we change, that is how powerful I consider music to be. My lessons are planned so I can give the students the tools to organize their practice to get the most out of it. I believe that music is a great tool of self discovery and expression.

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

Age: 60's

Gender: female

I have a Master's degree in Harp and a Master's degree in W. E. Conducting. I also attended the J. A. Lamas School of Music where I got a diploma as Harp performer and teacher. I studied piano as part of my music training. My teachers were trained in the U.S.A. and France.

1rst Prize of the young soloists competition of the Venezuelan Symphony Orchestra. Price winner in the 8th Harp Contest in Israel.

I have had a career that has allowed me to approach music from very different points of view. From competitions and orchestra playing, to solo and chamber music performing, recording, teaching musicians and non musicians and researching. All these has given me a panoramic view of what one can do as a teacher in the world of music.

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

Maricela 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.
