Emre - BAH Teacher #3695

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

Age: 30's

Gender: male

I have a certification from Bahcesehir University, a well known university in Istanbul, Turkiye. It was a Jazz Certificate Program for 1 year. (2017-2018) Throughout that program, I participated in 8 hours of weekly jazz courses, including Jazz History and Styles Analysis, Ear Training, Jazz Theory, and Private Instrumental Technique Lessons. Moreover, I engaged in weekly ensemble classes for both instrumental and vocal ensembles. I performed in live concerts, street festivals, and recital concerts. I have been playing drums since the age of 14. (24 years) Throughout those years, I have had the chance to develop my knowledge of musical elements such as rhythm, articulation, tempo, flow and notation. In addition, I am a member of the Dave Weckl Online School (a comprehensive series of video lessons) since 2019.

Vancouver International Jazz Festival (Coastal Jazz & Blues Society) I have had the chance to be a volunteer at the festival as a Drum Technician. Also, before coming to Canada I used to work as a drum teacher for 8 years back in Istanbul.

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).
