FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My rate is $70 per hour, or pro-rated to the length of your lesson. 1 hour = $70 45 minutes = $52.50 30 minutes = $35 If I have to cancel a lesson at any time, you do not pay for the lesson. If you have to cancel a lesson with less than a week's notice, you pay for the lesson. With longer notice, you do not pay.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to communicate through email first, then a short telephone call, then meeting in person or for online lessons. Throughout the process, we are seeing if we'll be a good match, as that is of upmost for learning music. I'd like to know your musical interests, your goals for lessons, your musical history, etc. Once we find that we are compatible, we'll start lessons!
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I started playing the violin at age 5, adding guitar at age 11. I've studied for many years with many teachers, and have been to many music camps. But most of my musical knowledge comes from being a professional musician for over 20 years. I've played thousands of shows all over the world, have recorded many albums, scored films, written music for theater, and have taught hundreds of students.
