- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I appreciate your interest in joining my studio! First, an introductory lesson will be offered for free in-studio ($40 charge if done in-home or online) in order to review aspects such as the level of the student, behavior, skills, personality, and others. It is an opportunity for the student as well to ask questions and learn about my teaching philosophy. Those aspects are taken into consideration and are useful to choose the best approach for the new student, including materials, schedule, and methodology. Afterward, I will notify the student of an acceptance or rejection. If accepted, the student will be given a studio policies form to sign (or parents in the case of minors), a studio schedule for setting up lessons, and related documents. Lessons then will proceed in a weekly basis for the duration of your choosing from the available options.
