    Check for tension in his abdominal muscles (especially rectus abdominis) – I’m guessing that he’ll be using those muscles to compensate for his balance in lieu of his legs. But no reason why you should lower your expectations – he sounds like a great client to have! Also, you can use his wheelchair to help him anchor:) Great to hear that you’re getting cracking with the teaching, Ben 🙂

    Worst for me was getting laryngitis, and having a new student come round who I’d forgotten I’d booked in – answering the door unwashed in a dressing gown, explaining in a hoarse, tiny whisper “Yes, I’m a singing teacher.” She didn’t come back. #excellentmarketing

    Eliza, your set-up is the same as mine – except I have 24 hours. Your 48 hours seems very fair for you since you have to rent a studio room. Sounds like you’ve got it fixed up nicely – and the student will feel like they’ve got their money back if you miss their lesson. If I botch a lesson timing (I’ve double-booked students before!) then I give them a half-price lesson, but if you just can’t make it then there’s no reason to feel like you should give them something in return! Sounds like you’re all over it
