Tatyana - BAH Teacher #4330

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

Age: 20

Gender: female

I have studied violin and piano simultaneously through the RCM program from a young age, and I was a student at the Mount Royal Conservatory in Calgary. During my studies in Calgary, I completed my RCM 10 exam in piano, violin, and theory, all with First Class Honours with Distinction. I studied at McGill’s Schulich School of Music for my first year of undergrad in Violin Performance, and have since transferred to the Glenn Gould School of the Royal Conservatory where I will be completing the rest of my Bachelor of Music (Honours).

In violin, I have had success in local, provincial, and national level competitions. I’ve won and placed in competitions such as the Canadian Music Competition, the Canada West Performing Arts Festival, and the Calgary Performing Arts Festival. I have also been awarded various scholarships for music, including the Alberta Music Education Foundation Student Recognition Award. In piano, I have participated in many festivals and invited to play at gala concerts, such as the APTA Calgary (Alberta Piano Teachers Association) Gala Concert.

I am a passionate teacher with professional experience in teaching students of all ages, abilities, and levels. Many of my students had great success in their RCM exams, and I am also familiar with the Faber and Suzuki methods. I am known to be a patient, gentle, and positive teacher who will push you to do your very best!

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).
