FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
The lesson costs are based on a schedule averaging 4 weekly lessons per month. Some months have 5 lessons, there is no extra charge for that because it is used to offset other months that have 3 lessons due to holidays on the schedule. This way the price remains constant each month. Currently, $144/month for 1/2 hour weekly lessons, $210/month for 45 minute weekly lessons.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I would schedule an interview to assess the students' needs and genres of music of interest to them. Lessons are at a "go at your own pace". We advance as we master each piece(s).
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I received my teaching certification from the Music Teachers' Association of California in 1998, after completing the 3 year Cal Plan program administered by the association. I also received a Diploma from Sherwood Music School of Chicago, extension department, in Piano and related theoretic subjects. I also studied for a few years from classical pianist, John Kraus.
