FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My base prices for lessons are $35/half hour, $45/45 minutes, $55/hour. I then add a fee based on distance to the students home.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
When I start with a new student one of the first things I do is ask them what kind of music they like to listen to. This helps to give us a shared vocabulary so that I can choose the path that is best suited to my student's goals and style. If a student is very young or doesn't have a strong opinion, I use a variety of genres of music to start out, until it becomes clear what will be best for the long term.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I graduated from Oberlin College with a degree in Musical Studies focusing on Jazz Voice. I've studied voice, piano, and music theory in the classical and jazz tradition extensively. I'm currently a full time musician, equally splitting my time between performing and teaching,
