FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I price everything as fairly as I can. I base the prices/quotes entirely on the number of musicians, hours and guests expected. I will generally include 1-2 prices if the customer is unsure whether they want just a trio or a trio with vocals and my prices are always negotiable. We also include our PA with a wireless mic for you to use throughout the night.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I don't use a one size fits all process for working with a new customer. Every customer has a unique situation and budget so I try to customize a package for every potential customer. If I did have a process I would say listening and finding out exactly what the customer is looking for is the key to every successful event.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a bachelors and master's in jazz studies. In addition to my academic background I teach music courses at JCCC, Penn Valley and UMKC. I also help my wife run her bakery and I hold a Master's in Accounting and a Master's in Jazz Studies so I understand the music side but also the business side of running a small business and working with other businesses.
