FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I try to customize the payment and price. I'm willing to give senior and student discounts, put together packages and volume discounts, etc. I try to work with the student's budget and to find the best way to pay that works for them. If I travel to their house it will cost a bit more, but I try to keep that cost as reasonable as possible by scheduling the lesson near others in the same area or at a time that is less in demand. I will consider any reasonable offer.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We schedule a first lesson to see how they like the lessons and to determine their skill levels and prior knowledge and experience, as well as their preferences, goals, learning styles and speed. I ask the student to give lots of feedback as we proceed so I can really see what exactly works best for them.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I graduated summa cum laude from Ithaca College School of Music with a Bachelor's in Music Education. I have a Master's also and have studied in London, Budapest and Munich. I'm also an experienced choral director as well as teacher for 24 years! I have also taught many teachers how to teach and have done demonstration lessons and videos for them to learn how.
