FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I charge my hourly rate both at my studio or at the students home. Traveling time gets added to the lesson price. For example, for a student that lives 15m away an hour lesson will be charged as a 1,5h lesson.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
It always differs, everyone is unique & therefore requires an individual approach. I will usually try to find ways that the student will relate to the fundamentals of music as well as the instrumental technique. We often will use other instruments like the piano, the voice, or the drums when it seems appropriate.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
