Music has been a guiding force in my life, and I believe it has the power to inspire, connect, and bring out the best in each of us. As a teacher, I strive to create an environment where students feel supported, encouraged, and free to explore their musical abilities. Whether it’s a beginner discovering the joy of playing their first notes or a more advanced student working on refining their technique, my goal is to make the learning process engaging and enjoyable. I see each lesson as a collaboration, where I guide students through their unique musical journeys. I focus on building a solid foundation of technique while also nurturing their creativity and expression. For me, teaching goes beyond just mastering an instrument; it’s about helping students build confidence, discipline, and a lifelong appreciation for music. I believe that learning music should be a joyful experience, and I incorporate elements of fun and exploration into my teaching. I encourage my students to embrace mistakes as part of their growth, fostering an atmosphere where they can experiment and take risks without fear. Every student, regardless of age, deserves patience, understanding, and respect, and I tailor my approach to meet their individual needs. Music is more than a skill; it’s a language that speaks to our emotions and brings people together. As a teacher, I’m passionate about helping my students find their own voices through music, guiding them towards their personal goals while sharing in the excitement of their progress.

My participation in festivals like the Toronto Summer Music Festival, Big Lake Festival, and Ottawa Chamberfest has been instrumental in broadening my musical horizons. These experiences allowed me to work alongside top-tier musicians, exposing me to new styles and approaches that I now bring into my teaching and performance. Additionally, my time in the EQ Lamp program at the Lunenburg Academy of Music, under the mentorship of Barbara Hannigan, taught me the importance of versatility and creativity in music-making. I have had the privilege of performing with esteemed ensembles such as the Canadian Opera Company, Esprit Orchestra, Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra, and Orchestre symphonique de Drummondville. These experiences have honed my skills in collaboration, adaptability, and precision, all of which I pass on to my students. My time with these orchestras has given me insight into the nuances of ensemble playing and the importance of listening and responding to others in real-time. Starting in September 2024, I took on the role of Principal Clarinet with the Orchestre symphonique du Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean. This position has been a significant milestone in my career, requiring leadership, responsibility, and a deep commitment to excellence. It has reinforced my belief in the value of clear communication and meticulous preparation, qualities that I emphasize in my teaching to help students build confidence and stage presence.

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).
