FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I utilize the same business model as a private school in terms of studio tuition. My year is divided into two 18-week semesters during the school year, plus an 8 to 10 week term in the summer. There is a yearly tuition divided into monthly installments. It is, as follows: 30 minute lessons= $1,200.00 per year/$100.00 installment due the first lesson of each month. 45 minute lesson= $1,800.00 per year/$150.00 installment due the first lesson of each month. 60 minute lesson= $2,400.00 per year/$200.00 installment due the first lesson of each month. There is an $85.00 fee collected at the beginning of each school year. This is comprised of a $50.00 sheet music deposit and a $35.00 studio activity fee.
- What types of customers have you worked with?
I give piano lessons to children ranging in age from 3 to 18 years old. I have over 30 years experience and offer an excellent, comprehensive program, tailored to each individual student's needs.
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
To seek a professional with extensive experience and a person who demonstrates a commitment to working with children of all ages in a well-thought out and executed program. For all students, but especially for beginners, you should look for a person who sees the beginning levels, not as a "shrug off", but as the most important stage in the learning process.
