FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My stock-in-trade has always been the weekly half hour lesson billed in advance and by the month. So that's $25 per 1/2 hr. Monthly tuition is $100 per month, and the 5th lesson is free when it rolls around. (4 per year) By the month only, no long term contracts, and l offer a quarterly discount. (Ask me about that) I bill credit card and take cash and checks. No chickens. I'll do occasional lessons at my home studio for the same price, or at your home in the Kansas City area for an extra fee. Details flexible. Can't be listed separately, but I give dobro and beginning mandolin, guitar and bass lessons in the bluegrass style too.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First a consultation- video or in person- to get to know the student's goals. Then we'll develop an overall plan to get there. Everybody starts with the basics. Music and mechanics at your pace. Then we ease into what the student is interested in and needs. And so we go from there.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Studied music in school, and 50 years of playing in bands, shows, musicals, and teaching. They wouldn't let me in the conservatory on banjo so I had to teach myself. (lol)
