FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
First Hour = $145 Subsequent Hours = $120/each The first hour includes up to 50 miles of round trip travel and up to 1 hour of background music. Please note that all hours are not prorated. If an event runs passed the agreed upon time, another hour will be charged upfront to retain her services.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
When I picked up my first violin at the age of 10, I knew it was something that would always be special to me. As I progressed, I came to realize that music makes people happy; both those who play it and those who hear it. I don't think I could ever stop performing because of that simple truth.
