Bryce - BAH Teacher #4322

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

Age: 22

Gender: male

I am in the Dual-Degree Music and Education program at the University of British Columbia, which includes large, small and solo performances. I studied trumpet privately from the age of 10 until the age of 21. My teachers were classically trained and studied under Vincent Cichowicz. My teacher's philosophies follow the Chicago style of teaching, and my teaching is modelled after that. In addition to my musical experience with the trumpet, I sang with the University Singers ensemble at the University of British Columbia, and I sang Beethoven 9 with the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra and Vancouver Chamber Choir.

Langley Fine Arts Music Major Valedictorian 2020 Vancouver Brass Collective 2020 - 2nd place in the Vancouver brass youth competition

I went to an art school and majored in music from grade 6 to grade 12. I spent countless hours in different ensembles, such as choir, chamber choir, orchestra, jazz band and concert band. My training was influenced by my experiences with the wide variety of ensembles and nurtured my love for all styles and kinds of music. I have also worked as a band clinician for high schools and have experience teaching trumpet and theory.

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).
