FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
For performances, I always offer a discount for prepayment in full. Travel within 30 miles is no additional charge, but a fee may be assessed for further distances. Private lessons are $200/month for weekly, 1-hour lessons. In months that have 5 lesson days, the 5th lesson is always free.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I respond quickly to gather information about each customer's needs, and I offer a face-to-face consultation. I pride myself on my ability to custom tailor the music for any event, and to create a personalized curriculum for my students.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been studying music since 1989, and I have received instruction from world class music teachers. I have performance experience in a wide variety of settings and musical styles spanning the past 25 years, including performances as a soloist with Symphony Orchestras, weddings, corporate events, fundraisers, and private parties of all kinds. On my 2017 Summer Solo Concert Tour I gained experience performing for the Utah Classical Guitar Society, the Sacramento Guitar Society, and the Lute Society of America, as well as several independently organized concerts. I also give concerts in the Dallas area regularly. I have been teaching music privately for over 10 years. I have taught students of all ages and ability levels.
