FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
One hour lesson - $60; Half hour lesson - $40 This is pricing for lessons at my home studio in Ditmas Park/West Midwood (near the Q and B Newkirk Plaza subway station). I can travel to you for lessons, but would cost more depending on how far.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Starting with the first lesson, students will not just drum but play music with either me playing piano or prerecorded tracks. Students will learn to play the music they like. Self-expression, creativity and fun are encouraged as well as learning necessary skills to read and play music with other people.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
