FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
We offer a wide range of options for students. The monthly tuition you can expect varies drastically depending on which service you choose and how often its scheduled. We highly recommend scheduling a free consultation to help determine which services are the best fit for your goals.

- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First, I recommend taking advantage of a free consultation session that I offer to new students. It gives me a chance to learn more about your goals and expectations, as well as an opportunity for you to learn about what options are available for you and the advantages of each. After that, the first lesson called the trial lesson is an opportunity for us to see if I'm a good fit for you and for me to get to know you or your kid and of course to teach you some basics if you are starting out, or to provide you with my comments and recommendations. Because there is always a chance that I'm not a good fit for you or your kid, I offer the trial at 50% off my usual rate. Aside from the consultation session and trial lesson, you will also receive a practice guide outlining what and how to practice between now and the next lesson, tailored to you and your current level so that practicing isn't daunting and frustrating, and instead is fun and exciting! I'll also give you any sheet music of etudes I recommend, including materials that I have designed to help students learn skills quickly and efficiently. If you are new, I'll also give you suggestions on where to obtain an instrument and how to take care of one.
