FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I have pricing for 30 min, 45 min and 60 min music lessons. When being hired as a performer, I usually have a 1 Hour minimum rate which varies dependent on the number of musicians being hired.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I have a long experience with beginning, intermediate, and advanced children and adults in several different instruments. I need to access either their level of ability if they have learned music before -- or depending on age and other factors have to decide what courses and type of music we will work on. This process is very much based on the fact that I am used to the assessment process and do a good job of starting students in a comfortable place
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
My mother and brother are both musicians --- so music was always around and as I gained more experience, I would sometimes accompany and teach my mother. With music, in several different disciplines and different styles being such a big part of my life for so many years, I feel equipped to help others find their way. I also studied voice, violin, viola and piano with other well- known and reputable teachers in the Los Angeles area and studied music at CSU Sacramento and Immaculate Heart College in Los Angeles.. As a performer, I have worked in the Phoenix area for almost 20 years and before that in Los Angeles. My experience includes performing for over 1500 musical events such as weddings and parties, symphony orchestras, church organist and pianist, strolling violin and playing with duos, trios, quartets of different instrumentations. Currently, I have a violin-guitar duo, Cafe Stringz and we play a large variety of music, including Cajun and Irish Fiddling tunes, and International pop tunes.
