About Ian Businge
As a digitally-skilled jazz and jazz fusion guitarist, I offer elegant performances and make complex musical concepts accessible in lessons for guitar and bass.
With both practical and academic music backgrounds, I connect well with students’ diverse needs while continually improving as a performer and teacher:
**- Currently pursuing a BA (Hons) Music with the Open University
- · Member of the Independent Society of Musicians
- · Advancing technical skills to achieve licentiate status with a major exam body**
Actively studying myself, I understand both the joys and challenges of learning new skills.
Lesson prices
Please note that my Cancelation & Rescheduling Policies are governed by the Independent Society of Musicians, of whom I am a member. They also serve as final arbiters in any potential dispute.
Cancelation Policy:
The pupil (or Pupil’s parent or carer) will have the right to cancel the Agreement to provide tuition within 14 days from the day after the date of this Agreement by giving written notice of cancellation to me.
If the pupil would like lessons to begin within the 14 day cancellation period, the Pupil (or parent or carer) must provide me with written confirmation of this. If the Agreement is then cancelled within the 14 day cancellation period, the Pupil is required to pay the fees for any lessons delivered and any other fees paid to the Teacher will be refunded.
Rescheduling Policy:
I will charge for any scheduled lessons which the Pupil does not attend, unless I choose not to do because of exceptional circumstances. If I cancel a scheduled lesson, the Pupil (or the Pupil’s parent or carer) may choose between
- carrying the lesson forward,
- receiving a replacement lesson or
- receiving a refund of the lesson fee.
Note that notice to reschedule lessons is 48 hours (unless exceptional circumstances prevail).
