FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I teach from my home, but I am also able to travel to students' homes for an extra $10 per hour.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
With every new student, I use the first lesson to get an idea of what their level is, what their musical background is, what their goals are in learning music, and what learning style they have. Based on these factors, I then develop an approach and a curriculum of repertoire and learning tailored to their individual needs. With every new student, I also share a bit about my own background and my approach in order to ensure that we are both on the same page.
