FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Fees are collected on the date of the first lesson of each month for the upcoming full month of once-per-week lessons. This reserves your spot in my schedule for the month. 30 minute lessons = $80 per month ($20 x 4) 45 minute lessons = $110 per month ($28 x 4) 60 minute lessons = $140 per month ($35 x 4) In the months that have 5 weeks/5 lessons, I do not charge for the 5th lesson. If your first lesson begins after the first week of the month, fees for that month will be prorated. I am very flexible with scheduling makeup lessons. I ask that you give 24 hours notice if you are going to miss a lesson.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I prefer to come to your residence for lessons. There is no extra charge for this. The very first meeting is a free trial lesson for you to decide if you (or your child) would like to continue with lessons. We discuss individual goals, I offer advice about purchasing a keyboard or piano (if you don't already have one), and I bring new learning materials (lesson books, charts, homework journals, etc.) to your lesson. If you have experience playing or taking lessons in the past, I use this time to ask you specific questions and listen to you play so I can properly establish your level.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
University of Tampa (2005): Bachelor of Arts in Music (concentration in performance)
