FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Tuition can be paid in monthly, quarterly, bi-yearly or annual increments--depending on when you join the studio. Fees for private lessons, group classes, recital and supplies are lumped into one payment that is then divided by ten months in the academic year. The studio operates under a calendar set at the beginning of the academic year, and tuition takes into account winter and spring breaks, and holidays. Tuition rates can be seen in detail on my website.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I attend string pedagogy training workshops every year, and actively observe master teachers at work with their private students. I'm always researching new or unique approaches to teaching music to students of all ages.
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Explore the Suzuki Association of Americas website and read blogs from Suzuki parents. Be prepared to spend 10-30 minute per day practicing with your child (under the age of 12). Expect to attend and take notes at every lesson and group class.
