FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Pricing is simple: $45.00 per lesson which is booked at one-hour intervals -- but let me say that for a newcomer working on technique, a half hour is pretty intense and enough to begin with, but invariably we will work the whole hour with valid conversation, suggestions as to repertoire, and solving of musical issues. While it is usually un-necessary, the services of an accompanist may be arranged for an additional fee of $50.00 per hr, or you can bring your own.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
A great many who come to me for lessons really have no "professional aspirations"but simply are testing the waters of possibility, and this is great! Do not feel you must be a"music major" to come to me -- many are simply looking to expand their means of expression in the most basic ways, and music is a perfect vehicle for this -- a good feeling about one's confidence is the perfect advancement!
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
As professionals, we NEVER stop learning -- there's always new music to prepare, and even an old show needs to be reviewed regardless of how many times it's been given in the past. Languages must be refreshed -- it never stops. One of my greatest strengths is that I am a successful and renown artist who still performs internationally -- my years on the stage have given me a huge advantage over those who have simply "read all about it", and I can demonstrate vocally what I am asking you to do...if you wanted to be a racecar driver, wouldn't it be a plus to train with Mario Andretti or Al Unser ?! I sure would think so!
