- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I begin with a trial lesson and consultation, where I: Assess the student’s current level, technique, and musicianship Discuss their goals (auditions, competitions, or personal enrichment) Outline a personalized roadmap with suggested repertoire and practice strategies After this first meeting, we set a regular lesson schedule (weekly or flexible). I guide students in building an effective practice routine and provide resources such as annotated scores, recordings, and individualized assignments to support their progress. Parents and adult students can expect regular feedback, progress updates, and clear communication, ensuring that learning stays focused, enjoyable, and rewarding.
