FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I charge 50$ per lesson on any instrument. I'll frequently go over an hour if we are in the middle of a topic and both schedules allow it. I am also willing to reschedule lessons as things come up.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to talk about music experience, goals, and interests early on so I can figure out the best way to start lessons. Every student is different, and I like to change my teaching approach to best fit each individual student. I find it particularly useful to chat about what artists / genres or music the student enjoys listening to, and use that as a jumping off point.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I studied jazz saxophone at the prestigious Jacobs School of Music, and also studied clarinet with acclaimed jazz clarinetist Frank Glover. During college and the several years since, I have taught private students of all ages, given clinics, and worked with groups of 5-20 students.
