FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Basically during this busy season. it's $250/ hour for first hour per musician, then $125/hour per musician. Plus travel expenses( if there any). So basically as an example, a one hour gig for me playing solo piano would be $250. A two hour solo piano gig would be $375. A one hour gig for a Jazz Trio would be, $700, but then 2 hours would be $975. If there is significant traveling, that would have to worked out as well. But there are times when these rates can be flexible. For instance the weekends right now are extraordinarily busy, but Mon,Tues,Wed, and Thurs, aren't t so bad, so we could work out cheaper rates.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
An introductory text or two or three. Then phone calls to work out what my client might need, then formalize the details, set the date and times, and arrangement for a deposit, and schedule the date, and confirm with an email. Then show up for the gig with all the arrangements pre planned. Finish the gig with everybody happy 😊.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Private Piano lessons for years, then Berklee college of Music, and New England Conservatory of Music. I am also trained in Sound engineering and recording.
