- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Lessons cost $40.00 per weekly one hour lesson when the student pays for four lessons in advance. If the student pays for lessons at each lesson, the cost is $45.00 for each one hour lesson. If I travel to the students home the cost is $50.00 for a one hour lesson. Lessons in the students home must be purchased four lessons in advance. All materials and texts are included in the lessons fees, There are never any additional or hidden charges.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I belong to a few music teachers organizations where the main goal is improvement through continuing education. I attended a guitar teacher and mentoring training program. I have taken courses in training children to play the guitar. I have taken courses in advanced music theory, songwriting and composition. I am also an active participant in several on line guitar teachers forums.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I paid my dues as a musician. I played in bands, toured, performed as a solo singer/songwriter and did quite a bit of session work for a number of years. I also tutored other guitarists and taught guitar to beginners because I really enjoyed teaching. I began to enjoy teaching more than anything else I did musically and after developing my teaching skills for a few years I eventually decided to make it my career. I feel like teaching guitar is what I was put on this earth to do. Everyone has a calling, or a purpose in life and mine is teaching others to play the guitar. I am very fortunate to be able to make my living doing what I do best and love most.
