FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I usually discuss it individually.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Usually, I interview my new students first, and I would play a piece for my new students. If the students are young children, I usually talk to the parents first, then to the children. With the young children, I would also do a small test. Very easy:) With adults, I would normally start with setting our goals and expectations. There is a lot of exploration in the beginning. Yet, I'm very specific with materials and goals. After all, we want to learn to play!
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
As a child and young adult, I've been through a very intense professional training in one of the most prestigious music schools for especially gifted children in Russia/Ukraine. Just so it's clear, how intense was the training, by the age of 16, I already performed Rachmaninov's concerto No. 2. And of course, I do have BA and MA in piano performance.
