Yanet - BAH Teacher #4401

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

Age: 30's

Gender: female

I have a Bachelor of Music from ISA, University of the Arts, in Havana, Cuba. I earned a Master of Music degree from Memorial University of Newfoundland under the tutelage of violinist Nancy Dahn and completed an Artist Diploma Program at the Glenn Gould School of the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto, studying with violinists Erika Raum and Paul Kantor. Currently, I am pursuing a Doctor of Musical Arts degree at Western University with violinist Annette-Barbara Vogel. My previous mentors include my father, violist Sydney Campbell, and Cuban violinists Alfredo Muñoz and Carmen Maria Vázquez. I have performed in masterclasses for famous violinists such as Ida Kavafian, Miriam Fried, Renaud Capuçon, Eva León, Arabella Steinbacher, James Ehnes, Glenn Dicterow, and Paul Roczek.

In 2015, I was the recipient of the first prize in the prestigious violin competition of the Union of Writers and Artists of Cuba (UNEAC), and in 2019, I was awarded second prize in the strings category at the National Competition of the Federation of Music Festivals of Canada. In recognition of my talent, the London Symphonia awarded me a Fellowship for two consecutive years, in 2022 and 2023, allowing me to perform with the orchestra throughout the season. Throughout my career, I have also been awarded important fellowships to support my studies, including The Temerty Foundation Scholarship and the Paul J. O'Neill Scholarship. I was selected by the Glenn Gould School in Toronto to play with a fine instrument from their collection, the George Chanot II violin, from 2020 to 2022. Additionally, the School of Music at Memorial University of Newfoundland entrusted me with a violin from their fine instruments collection from 2018 to 2020.

I am originally from Cuba, and my qualities as a musician have allowed me to teach and perform in American and European countries. I have experience teaching both privately and through esteemed music institutions such as Long and McQuade in London, Ontario, Dixon Hall Neighborhood Services in Toronto, Kitchen Music Studios in Toronto, The Bahamas Music Academy in Nassau, The Bahamas, and the National Art School in Havana, Cuba, among others. As a performer, I made my debut in 2016 with the National Symphony Orchestra of Cuba, performing P. I. Tchaikovsky's "Violin Concerto in D Major," and later that year with the Lyceum Mozartiano of Havana Orchestra. In 2022, I was invited to record J. S. Bach's "Violin Concerto in A Minor" for the Ontario Pops Orchestra's album "Breaking Barriers." In 2023, maestro Carlos Bastidas, the orchestra's director, invited me to perform again as a soloist. This time, I played Pablo de Sarasate's "Navarra" for two violins, alongside violinist Felipe Luzuriaga. My most recent chamber music performances include Charles Koechlin's String Quintet and Ian Cusson's "Five Songs on Poems of Marilyn Dumont," with renowned artists Angela Park, Rachel Mercer, Thomas Wiebe, Sharon Wei, Scott St. John, and Marion Newman.

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).
