FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Group music classes for preschool students are $5 for a 45 minute class that meets once per week. In Kindergarten, a private lesson of 15 minutes is usually the best option and is $7.50 per lesson. First grade and up private lessons are 30 minutes for $17.50. As students advance, they may need to advance to a 45 min, or even 1 hour lesson. That very much depends on the student and their individual needs. Payment is expected at the beginning of each month. Lessons missed for illness or extenuating circumstances will be rescheduled with proper advanced notice.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I attend seminars each year and belong to professional music teacher organizations.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I took piano lessons beginning at age 7. Through many changes in life, it was the one activity which was a constant joy for me. We lived in a rural area with only one piano teacher in the county. When I turned 16, my teacher asked me to begin teaching beginning students and send them on to her once they reached a more advanced level. I loved teaching piano from the very beginning, and continued studying and teaching through college. I can't imagine doing anything else.
