Clients ARE REQUIRED to record their Jingles sessions with Steve Walker.

Dear Fellow Earthlings,

  Nowadays, most if not all people are trying to protect their rights -- including their intellectual property rights. In

the companies I have founded ("The Japan Foundation for English Pronunciation - The Jingles" and "The Jingles North America"), my staff members and I have had to deal with people illegally using The Jingles both on-line and in person. Sometimes we have to spend thousands of dollars to protect the Jingles.

    Two aspects of The Jingles that we protect fiercely are video copying and voice recording. For any Jingles training not administered by me, such recording is prohibited.

    This is done to protect our intellectual property investment, to make it harder for would-be pirate intructors to utilize our knowhow, and to avoid law suits that could come about as a result of physical and/or mental trauma or injury occurring through improper and/or overly demanding "malpractice teaching".

   Furthermore, this is done to protect my highly professional Jingles instructors from being taken to task for any inadvertent "teaching errors" or "target language production errors" they might commit.

   When I myself teach, however -- except for dealing with rare situations -- the recording of my custom-designed training for individual clients is mandated. At the beginning of each of my sessions, clients are obliged to agree to not share their training experience with anyone. This statement on the part of each client absolves me of any damage that could occur if anyone other than the client in question might claim.

   Just as medical science is moving toward genome-specific treatments for patients, so too is Jingles training already 

administered with clients' individual phonomes/allophonomes in mind.  

   My clients clamor for sessions taught directly by me. After all, they can then go over every detail of their indiviualized sessions until they master all of the contents included therein!
