FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
$27 for 30 min. $38 for 45 min. $50 for an hour.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Each student is unique, so my process starts with understanding your specific goals, experience, and practice schedule. On day one, the goal is immediate momentum. To ensure you develop a strong foundation, I generally start everyone on proven curriculums—Suzuki or Essential Elements for cello and Mel Bay or Essential Elements for guitar. We will cover instrumental technique, reading music, and music theory, connecting those core skills directly to the music you are most excited to play.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Right now I have students playing in worship groups, preparing for auditions, playing in chamber groups and orchestras, in jazz combos, bands, you name it. I offer 30, 45, and 60-minute lessons online and at my studio in Nashville. I have 10+ years of experience teaching private lessons in addition to teaching seminars on songwriting and music business. I've played guitar and bass for 25 years, cello for 19 years which resulted in over 1,100 shows, performed on 40+ albums and composed for radio, television, and internet video series, featured in the New York Times, on the CBS Evening News, NPR and recently played at the Grand Olde Opry.
