FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I kindly ask that students pay at the beginning of each month and I do offer make-up lessons for missed lessons. Students can make payments via zelle or check or cash.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I always offer trial lessons to meet with new students. This allows us to not only determine the students level but also to see if we are a good match. I believe that it is important for students to find the "right" teacher for themselves. At the trial lesson, I typically determine the students level and decide which material to use. With beginner level students, I recommend to start with a 30 minute lesson. After several months, if the students progress is good, we typically switch to 45 minutes or 1 hour lessons.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Music is an endless field. I practice everyday as much as I possibly can and read about music to always further my education. I also follow most classical and jazz concerts as well as opera productions in Chicago area.
