FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I charge $100 a month for weekly 30 minute lessons, $150 for weekly 45 minute lessons, and $200 for weekly 60 minute lessons. *Please note* I am located in Orem, so if you live in Salt Lake county, keep this in mind before you contact me to set up a lesson time. Thank you!!
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to get to know new students by finding out what kind of music they listen to, what they are interested in learning, and what they have already worked on if they have previous experience on the piano. I try to get a feel for their learning style, i.e., visual, aural, kinesthetic, or a combination, so that I can personalize my teaching method for them. I'll have them bring any music they have plus a notebook, then I'll get them started with appropriate-level exercises they can work on throughout the week. I have plenty of music they can choose from if they'd like, or I will recommend music they can buy online or at a music store.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a bachelor's degree in piano performance from Utah Valley University. As part of my degree program, I studied piano pedagogy and had hands-on training with teaching both children and adults, beginners through advanced college-level piano students. I have also studied jazz improvisation and performed as a member of a jazz ensemble. I am a certified member of the Music Teachers National Association and the Utah Music Teachers Association.
