- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Customers can request for a quote for any lesson plan or pay-as-you-go music lesson at my website. Customers usually schedule pay-as-you-go music lessons to try out before eventually purchasing monthly or quarterly prepaid enrollment to take advantage of discounted rates.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Though the music teachers at McMusic Lessons are primarily classically-trained, as students of theory and composition, we study, write, perform, and teach in a variety of styles and genre. The music director, Kevin McClain has been playing rock, alternative, funk, jazz, improvisation, and formally studied music all throughout grade school, high school, and college. He received his associate's degree from Moraine Valley Community College where he studied Theory I - IV, classical piano, classical guitar, and played guitar in the Moraine Valley Jazz Band. He was recommended to the guitar and composition programs at DePaul University School of Music in Chicago, Illinois. His degree was left unfinished after moving to Fort Bragg North Carolina in support of his Wife and Her commitment to the United States military. He spent time teaching on base and began conducting online music lessons to maintain my students in various locations.
