FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My rate is $40 for a 30-minute lesson, $60 for a 45-minute lesson and $80 for an hour lesson.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I offer a $20 introductory lesson. Topics covered in the first lesson include: the instrument the student will be using, assessing the student's level (if lessons have been taken in the past), deciding upon books and materials, discussing placement of the instrument in the home, practice, learning names of white keys and other basic information.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have 30 years of teaching and performing experience in a variety of settings. I have played piano for churches, musicals, orchestras, bands, recording studios and as a soloist. I have a Bachelor of Music in piano performance from the University of Alabama and a Master of Music in piano performance from Belmont University. While a student at Belmont I took many education courses and taught private students through Belmont Academy. Since 2015 I have taught independently.
