FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
There are four payment options. Tuition may be paid for the entire year (including summer) at once, OR divided into semester installments, OR paid in equal monthly installments on the 15th of the month from August through May, with summer separate. Rates are available on my website and are updated annually.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I provide a FREE 15-minute consultation to discuss your goals for lessons and to answer any questions you may have. If we are a great fit, I will send you a link to schedule and confirm your lesson time and choose your payment method. The whole process takes only a couple days depending on my availability.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a Master of Music degree in performance and a B.S.ed. degree in Instrumental Music Education. I participate in local, state, and national music organizations and attend conferences and workshops whenever I can. The most recent conferences I attended were the Kentucky Music Teachers Association state conference and the National Conference on Keyboard Pedagogy in Lombard, Illinois. These conferences give me an opportunity to learn about new teaching materials, discuss teaching methods and ideas with my colleagues, and hear inspiring musical performances. All of these things help me keep a fresh perspective on the art of music teaching.
