BOOK AN INTERVIEW WITH PABLO NOW
Part of the performance of a piece of music is absorbing its essence and enjoying the journey it takes you through. Each song unlocks different emotions and its our duty as artists to learn how to untangle their core and deliver our performances with the best proficiency and connection that one can provide. My job is not only to support you technically through the piece but also to help you understand the reason behind the words you sing.

Gender: male
As part of my vocal formation, I completed my Master's Degree in music at The University of British Columbia with specialization in Opera Performance. I acquired my Bachelor's Degree at the Universidad Panamericana in Mexico City. In both institutions, I received education from classically trained vocal teachers who were active in the operatic international scene in their moment. As part of my formation, I was able to participate in multiple operatic and musical theatre performances, allowing me to expand my knowledge and repertoire my skillset in both styles and other genres.
David Spencer Scholarship, UBC
I started my musical journey as a kid singing at home for my family. Ever since, it has travelled with me through out my life. I had multiple rock bands during high school. It got my to start a degree in audio engineering. Then it made me switch to opera where I acquired my bachelor's and master's degree. It's the reason I have not only performed as a solo singer and a chorus member, but also it is the reason why I continue working as Stage Technician, Producer, and many other projects music related. From any angle it always ends up leading up to 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).
