FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I charge a registration fee for all new students - this pays for your beginning materials and reserves your spot for when you begin lessons. This fee can be paid well in advance. By the first lesson, you will have to pay for the first two months of lessons; after that, payment occurs on a monthly basis. The monthly fees are based on four lessons per month; in months with five lessons, you will be charged for an extra lesson using the same pay scale. Registration fee: $20 One month of half-hour lessons: $88 One month of 45-minute lessons: $128 One month of hour-long lessons: $168
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I hold a meeting with the new student (and their parent, if applicable) to assess the student's personality and go over my teaching policy. No money has to change hands before this meeting. Once we're ready to begin lessons, we'll establish a regular lesson time, take care of the registration fee, and get started learning!
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I graduated from Elon University in May 2016 with a B.S. in Music Production & Recording Arts. While at Elon, I conducted a two-year Honors research project in which I created a ten-month popular piano curriculum entirely based on Instagram videos and posts. I have presented this research at national and international conferences. Beyond that, I have extensive experience performing, composing, and arranging music in many different styles and venues, from college marching band and a college a cappella group to rock bands and a jazz band performing at Italian festivals.
