FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I unfortunately can't give discounts due to the nature of the job (I don't have benefits or paid vacation, pay more taxes, etc.). I do give a $ bonus if you refer a new student. $30 = 30 minutes $45 = 45 minutes $60 = 60 minutes (for biweekly lessons) $55 = 60 minutes (every week)
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I get to know the student by asking lots of questions about their musical interests and background. I also see what the student already knows or understands about music with some simple exercises. If the student is brand new to music, that's okay too. I can still see the beginnings of what a student's abilities are like.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Several years of experience and I have a doctoral degree. I do surf the web looking for teaching strategies that music teachers post in blogs or in youtube videos.
