FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I charge $50/hour, $35 for 45 minutes, and $25 for 30 minutes. I have a $75 annual fee where I pay for all of the music used in your studio lessons.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The most important thing is to listen to what the customer wants. Once we agree on a plan of action, we move quickly to make it happen. We start with gauging your ability (beginner, intermediate, etc.), finding you the appropriate resources, books, music, and creating a plan that works for your schedule.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I continually read and learn new music myself, and take lessons from others (right now, I am learning to play the Hammered Dulcimer!). I network with other music teachers, and am a member of the National Music Teachers Association (NMTA). I read and write blogs, learn from my students, and am a substitute organist at my church.
