FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My fees aren't too complicated. I charge $60 for a 30 minute lesson; $75 for a 45-minute lesson; and $90 for an hour. How long a lesson a student should have depends on the individual. It can often take some trial and error to figure out what length of lesson works best for them.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Typically a new/prospective student and I will meet for a half-hour getting-to-know-you lesson. We'll talk A LOT, so I can begin to get to know you, learn about your goals, dreams, concerns, etc. You'll sing something you're comfortable doing (Happy Birthday is fine!), and I'll lead you through some vocalizing to get a sense of your voice. Finally, we'll talk about repertoire, what songs you'd like to work on, and what I think would be a good piece to start with.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have BM and MM degrees from the Manhattan School of Music, one of the finest music conservatories in the world.
