FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I charge a flat fee instead of charging by the hour. $50 monthly for 30 minute lessons. Some students may request 60 minute lessons, then the rate would be $70 per month. There is a $25 rate added for travel cost if I conduct lessons at the student's residence.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I always start my lessons with the basics of fingering, rhythm, and getting familiar with the keyboard for those learning for the first time. For the immediate and advanced, I review and evaluate sight reading, and then introduce more music theory along with advanced notation.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Studied music education at University of Nebraska at Omaha. Director of Music Ministries at St. Andrews United Methodist Church (Omaha, NE), Music director / pianist for the Las Vegas Lab Band (Big band group led by trumpet player/vocalist Mike Gurciullo, who was a section player for Wayne Newton), Piano instructor at Omaha School of Music, accompanist for Omaha Symohony.
