FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Standard pricing: $30 for 30 minutes, $45 for 45 minutes, $60 for 60 minutes. Students may come to my home studio. If I come to your house, a small travel rate applies for students farther than 10 miles. Rates may be adjusted according to customer's need.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The first lesson is always an evaluation of the student's skills and goals. After that, our time is a combination of lessons in theory, musicianship, and practice. We work through pieces that develop new techniques, while reinforcing what the student already knows.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am currently in my final year at CSUN, finishing my degree in viola performance. Before college, I played with the California Lutheran University Symphony for three years, and as first violist in the Conejo Valley Youth Orchestra. I have been active in local school orchestras since middle school, and have private training in both violin an viola. On top of private lessons, I now work as a coach for two middle school orchestras as well as for the CSUN Youth Orchestra.
