FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
$240/month (1 hour lessons) or $180/month (45 minute lessons) or $120/month (1/2 hour lessons).
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The first step with new students is to listen attentively to their interests and goals. I ask about the student's favorite songs, and we immediately listen to them and explore ways to play or sing like the recording in the best key. In the first lesson, even beginners are often playing several chords from their favorite songs. For singers, the focus is usually on breathing techniques and singing along with recordings of their favorites. From there, we develop a vision for structuring subsequent lessons.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have completed my Doctorate from Luther with a thesis in Music in Context. My experience with concerts ranges from doing stage design and management for major concerts to doing session work at Northstar studios on the Screen Gems movie lot for the past 5 years. I have extensive experience in choral direction, music composition, and conducting music workshops. I have produced numerous albums and musicals.
