FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Lessons are paid for IN ADVANCED for the month. This avoids having to pay each week making payments easier on the student and myself. Lessons are $20.00 per 30 minute lesson ($80 - $100 per month) and $30.00 per 60 minute lessons ($120 - $150 per month)
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The first lesson is a "get to know you" lesson. Parents should sit in the first lesson so that they know what is expected of the student, ask questions and hear the plan for moving forward. We see the level of musical knowledge and playing ability so that we can start the student at the appropriate level.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have studied with Sue Gross (Hanover, PA), Erika Lynn Adam (Westminster, MD), Sherrie Norwitz (Towson University) and Alice Ting (McDaniel College). I completed my student teaching at North Carroll Middle School and volunteered at Manchester Elementary School, Ebb Valley Elementary School and West Middle School. I have taught at Coffey Music, Hess Music and Menchey Music in both Westminster and Hanover but decided to open my own studio in 2014. I have also worked with Concert Master of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra Jonathan Carney.
