My teaching philosophy in music revolves around the power of one-on-one instruction to cultivate a deep and personal connection to music. I believe each student has unique strengths and challenges, and personalized teaching allows me to tailor lessons to suit their individual needs, whether it's mastering an instrument or understanding music theory. In a one-on-one setting, I can give focused attention, allowing students to progress at their own pace and providing the opportunity to explore their musical interests. I also encourage a balanced approach, integrating both technical skill development and creativity, so students not only improve their abilities but also develop a passion for music. Music education, to me, is about nurturing self-expression and confidence, where students feel empowered to take ownership of their musical journey. By fostering a supportive and patient environment, I aim to help students discover their full potential and develop a lifelong love for music.

With ABRSM Grade 8 in flute, Grade 5 in piano, and Grade 5 in music theory, I bring a solid foundation in music education to my teaching practice. My advanced skills in both instrumental performance and music theory equip me to deliver a comprehensive music curriculum. As an elementary teacher, I have used my expertise to engage students in both practical and theoretical aspects of music, fostering a love for the arts. My ability to teach a range of musical concepts, from technique to musical literacy, is a valuable asset in any music-focused educational environment. My musical qualifications reflect my commitment to nurturing students’ creativity and enhancing their musical abilities.
In addition to my teaching experience, I have specialized skills and training that enhance my ability to support and engage students. I hold ABRSM Grade 8 in flute, Grade 5 in piano, and Grade 5 in music theory, which provide a strong foundation in both instrumental performance and music theory. I have also received First Aid Certification, ensuring that I am prepared for any emergency situations that may arise in a classroom setting. Moreover, I have completed 40 hours of RBT (Registered Behavior Technician) training, which has equipped me with skills in behavior management, individualized support, and creating positive learning environments. These skills allow me to effectively adapt my teaching approach to meet the diverse needs of students, ensuring they feel supported and motivated to succeed.

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).
