FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Lesson Rates: When paid weekly: 30 minute lesson - $20.00. 1 hour lesson - $30.00. When paid monthly: 1 month of 30 minute lessons - $70.00. 1 month of 1 hour lessons - $100.00. (4 lessons) If two or more students should wish to take lessons together (about the same skill level highly reccomended): 30 minute lesson - $10 per student. 1 hour lesson - $15 per student. Transcription Rates: Transcriptions start at $20.00, but rates vary from song to song as some songs take 5 minutes to learn while others can take MUCH longer (ie: a complicated jazz solo), so just ask for an estimate.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We meet at a time that works for the both of us. I get a sense of where the student is at, musically, where they'd like to go, and we go from there, by expanding repertoire , theory analysis, technical exercises, and reading (if they'd like to read). If the student is not quite sure what they'd like to sound like yet, I can help them find a direction. I let my students learn anything they want, as long as they're continually learning something. I will sometimes throw a lot of music their way and see what they naturally gravitate towards.
