FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Lessons cost $20 for 30 minutes, $30 for 45 minutes, $40 for an hour lesson. Most lessons are weekly. I offer several varieties of discounts, most notably for those who serve in the military and their family and for special needs children and their families. I want everyone who wants lessons to have access to music education. If my base price is too high, please talk to me about it. We can find discounts, barters, trades, anything to make this work for you. I recently taught a lesson in exchange for children's clothing my student had outgrown and would fit my son- my first priority is making sure willing students can get the education they want.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I attend meetings for professional piano teachers and workshops through the teacher's guild to stay up to date with methodology and publications.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
For me, this line of work is simply who I am. I went through a few phases of trying to a more traditional professions but I keep coming back to teaching music because it's my hobby, my skill and a joy.
