FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Normally $75 per hour-long weekly lesson. No minimum, though students generally choose to pay for each month in advance. Excused lessons result in makeup lessons or credit into the next month. 24 hour notice is required if a lesson is missed for any except emergencies. Either way, makeups can usually be scheduled.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
After our first contact, we should have a conversation about your goals and experience - we can do that here or on the phone. If we want to move forward we get out our calendars and pick a weekly time slot that's convenient for both of us and set up our first lesson. There's no requirement to sign up or pay for more than one lesson at a time, though you may want to prepay a block of lessons for convenience.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I had music classes all through school and had a music and music theory concentration in college. Since then I've been learning both in bands I play in and through teaching. I stay up on the blogs and forums, books, magazines, and do research related to my books.
