FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I charge $23 per half-hour lesson, billed at the beginning of each month. If a student refers a friend, both the student and the friend will receive one month of lessons at half-price.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
When a student reaches out, I correspond via email or phone to gather a little preliminary information. After that, I invite the student for a free half-hour lesson to see if we're a good fit for each other. We work together to establish goals and develop a plan to work toward those goals. Adults are always welcome to sit in on children's lessons, but it seems to be most beneficial for the first lesson or two.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a member of the Minnesota Band Directors Association and the National Association for Music Educators. I log about 40-50 hours of professional development clock hours per year.
