FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I offer 45 minute lessons for ($50) and 30 minute lessons for ($40). Most of my students have 1 lesson a week and pay monthly. I also offer a 20% discount on their first month.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
When working with a new student I like to start with few questions to learn a little bit about their musical history and what inspires them. I usually ask them how long have they’ve been playing, if they have had ever lessons before, and what kind of music or artists they like. I also like to have students play something for me so I can see their style and where their skill level is. These things help me provide a learning path for the student.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I attended Central Piedmont Community College in Charlotte, NC for an associates degree in music. There I studied piano, music theory, and also achieved an education in Jazz performance. Around the same time I studied privately with one of Charlotte’s greatest drummers for many years. I’ve also gained a lot of experience through teaching, which I’ve been doing for 10 years now. Ultimately, all of these things contribute to my ability to teach multiple instruments and various skill levels.
