FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Students purchase at least one month of lessons at a time (at the beginning of each month). That way, we can lock in lesson times and ensure that you have a spot in the schedule.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
After emailing or speaking on the phone, Dave likes to set up an introductory lesson to make sure he is a good fit for the student (either remote via Zoom or possibly in-person with COVID precautions). In that meeting, they will go over the following: student's past experience, goals, basic technique to approach the drums, and at least one key NEW skill or song by the time the first lesson is over.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Dave has a Bachelor of Music degree from the University of Illinois, over 23 years of experience playing drums/percussion, 20+ years of taking drum lessons and classes himself (from world class teachers), over 12 years of experience playing in bands/groups of all genres, leadership experience from working with kids and adults and multiple camps, and the real world experience of being a working drummer in Los Angeles/Chicago.
