FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Half hour lesson is $40 45-minute lesson is $55 If needed, I can consider a reduced rate if that will make music lessons possible for you.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to have a chat, get to know the student and/or their parents/caregivers, find out about their previous musical experience and their current musical goals. You can check out the different books and resources I have available and together we'll choose materials that will work best for your/your child's learning styles and interests.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I'm a lifelong musician starting with childhood piano lessons, high school guitar, voice lessons and choir, followed by a patchwork of guitar, singing, and songwriting classes and workshops as an adult. I started writing songs in 1997, picked up the ukulele in 2006 and my newest instrument is tenor sax. I have an AA in music from Laney College in Oakland, and a music education certificate from Cal State East Bay.
