FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
A trial lesson is given before committing to consecutive training. Trial lessons are $40, and cancellations require a 48 hour notice. After the trial, scheduling, costs and materials will be discussed. For collaborations I charge hourly for rehearsals and a separate fee for auditions and/or concerts.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
This all depends on the level of the student. The process for a beginner versus the process for an experienced pianist will be very different. Even two students at a similar level will not be treated the same. As we work together and get to know one another, I find the best tools and methods that cater to the creative individual.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
My previous education and current pursuit of a doctoral degree, is in Piano Performance. My training prioritizes solo performance preparation, but also vocal/instrumental collaboration, and piano pedagogy. What thrills me through education is discovering the best tools that will ignite the imagination and bring us that much closer to authentic interpretation. Ive worked with vocalists and instrumentalists over the past 15 years and began teaching privately at age 17. Since then my students and colleagues have taught me immensely! Im so grateful to every single person I've had the opportunity to work with. They make me a better teacher and musician. Education is lifelong.
