FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I usually charge $40/half hour, although if payment is made for the month in advance I charge only $35.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I typically begin by discussing my student's goals. Enjoying the lessons and materials are essential to becoming a good musician, so I want to make sure I can find materials that my students will be interested in. I teach note reading, improvisation, all styles (except jazz), and music theory.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I'm certified to teach K-12 in New Jersey. My 4-year degrees from Ramapo College are in English and Psychology. However, I began giving music lessons throughout college to help pay for tuition, and my business really took off from there. 2 years after graduation I had an almost full clientele of music students and I have happily continued with this profession ever since! I have been playing and studying piano since I was 5, and guitar and bass since I was 12.
