JACKSON - BAH Teacher #4394

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

Age: 21

Gender: male

I am in my fifth year of Jazz Piano at Ambrose University. This has also included classical training as well as music theory and pedagogy. I have a deep appreciation for studio teaching, but I also spent my early years self-taught. I understand that different children have different needs and can adapt to their preference! While jazz music is my specialty, I have spent the last 10 years in various ensembles, big bands, worship teams, pop groups, and solo performance. Each have taught me new and exciting ways of understanding the vast world of music!

Since my music career began, I have made it a focus to take every opportunity to learn new things from new people. I have taken private study lessons with industry professionals for both piano and composition. I have made YouTube videos that explain the broad-strokes of a technique with multiple visual and audio aides so that a wide variety of people can understand in a way that makes sense to them. I also have years of experience storytelling and teaching to children in a classroom setting.

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).
