I hold a Bachelor's degree in Music Education (Special) with First-Class Honors. My academic journey laid a strong foundation for my career, equipping me with the theoretical knowledge and practical skills necessary to excel in the music industry. Additionally, I completed Indian Classical Exams and earned the title of Visharad, further enhancing my understanding and expertise in music. My education emphasized the importance of blending Eastern and Western musical traditions, fostering a unique and inclusive approach to teaching and performing music.

My dedication and excellence in the field of music have been recognized with several awards and distinctions. I graduated with First-Class Honors in Music Education, demonstrating my academic prowess. During my school years, I was awarded the title of Best Musician, and I have won several competitions for my musical talents. Additionally, I have received accolades for my contributions to music education and therapy, as well as for my innovative approaches to blending musical traditions. These honors highlight my commitment to enriching lives through music and my impact on the community.

I am proficient in teaching a variety of musical instruments, including violin, guitar, keyboard, and saxophone. I specialize in fusion music, blending Eastern and Western traditions to create a unique musical experience for my students. I have extensive experience working as a Music Therapist, particularly aiding children with special needs through music. My training includes advanced techniques in music therapy, pedagogy, and performance, making me a versatile and skilled educator.

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).
