FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I charge $30 per hour ($25 for 45 min). If the student is out of my travel range, the rate varies on distance. I prefer to teach at the student's homes where they are most comfortable, so extra travel is not a problem, but they can come to me.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I evaluate them based on experience. If it's a beginner, start with a fun and easy book, with simple techniques and exercises. I teach with no time tables in a fun, low-pressure environment. I teach at the student's pace because each student is different and learns at different speeds. I am flexible and love to incorporate student's personal musical interests and goals into the lessons.
