- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
PIANO: All new piano students have a free first lesson. I can evaluate young students to see if they are "ready" for lessons. Students can evaluate me. Art & Music: Do I listen to their goals? Can I meet their goals? Learning is a two way street - the student works but I must guide so they achieve their goals in the most efficient path possible. ARTWORK: Once I understand and know I can meet their expectations, a work schedule is set up so clients know what to expect at each stage.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
PIANO/MUSIC: I have been a member of the Music Teachers National Association and attend various workshops and seminars as well as read up on piano/pedagogical literature. For decades I was a church musician and used my skills in other venues. ART: The art world is constantly changing and networking is the most immediate way I stay on top of various techniques and issues as well as attend painting workshops.
