FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My rate is $25 per half-hour. After the first 3 lessons, I normally ask students to switch to payments at the beginning of each month (same per-lesson rate) to make things easier.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I teach fundamental skills in order to set you up to learn way beyond lessons with me. The focus is on: playing by ear, improvising, developing theoretical skills, perfecting technique, reading music, ingraining good feel and rhythm, learning how to practice and isolate problems, and loving many styles and sounds.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Massachusetts Academic Music Teacher, University of Oregon Graduate Teaching Fellow and Master of Music, Lawrence University Bachelor of Music in Composition, New England Conservatory Preparatory School Level IV Certificate, 20 years of lessons from all types of teachers, former private teacher in Eugene, Oregon
