My teaching philosophy is rooted in patience, creativity, and the belief that every student can achieve their musical goals with the right guidance and support. For children, my teaching strategy is play-based, making lessons engaging and fun while fostering a strong musical foundation. This experience with young learners has also enhanced my ability to teach adults, as it has sharpened my skills in adapting to different learning styles and needs. Whether you are a parent looking for piano lessons for your child or an adult seeking to improve your skills, I am here to support your musical journey. I look forward to helping you or your child explore the world of music through the piano.

Hello, my name is Nasim, and I am passionate about teaching piano and inspiring students to discover the joy of music. I have over 16 years of experience teaching music to individuals ranging from young children to adults. I specialize in working with children and adults at the intermediate level, helping them develop strong technical skills and a deep understanding of music theory. I began my own musical journey at the age of 10 and have since cultivated a rich understanding of both the technical and expressive aspects of piano playing. I am currently at RCM Level 9, reflecting my advanced skills and commitment to continual growth as a musician. In addition to my hands-on teaching experience, I hold a BA in English Literature, which enhances my ability to communicate complex musical concepts in a clear and engaging manner. I have also undergone training in music theory, art therapy, and children's holistic development, allowing me to tailor my lessons to each student's unique needs and learning style.
I am fluent in both English and Farsi, which allows me to connect with a diverse range of students. Music Theory: Extensive training in music theory, enabling a deep understanding of the structure and elements of music, which I integrate into my teaching to help students gain a comprehensive musical foundation. Art Therapy: Trained in art therapy, which allows me to use creative expression as a therapeutic tool in my lessons, particularly beneficial for students who may need additional emotional support or creative outlets. Children’s Holistic Development: Specialized training in children’s holistic development, providing me with the skills to address the emotional, cognitive, and social needs of young learners. This holistic approach ensures that each child’s overall well-being is considered in their musical education.

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).
