FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I offer very competitive rates and they're established for 30 minutes, 45 minutes, or 1 hour, depending on your goals and your budget. I'll ask students to pay for the month's lessons up front, based on how many lessons they expect to take that month (for example, if you'd prefer weekly lessons, I would charge you for four lessons at the beginning of the month). However, if something comes up and you need to reschedule or need to skip a week, I'm happy to refund you for that lesson(s). I only ask that you try to be considerate of that policy, and please let me know as soon as possible if you won't be available for a scheduled lesson. As far as discounts go--I offer a free lesson if you refer another student to me and they take at least one lesson!
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I will not charge students for the initial lesson/meeting. I like to use the first meeting to have a discussion about the student's expectations, goals, and to communicate my expectations as an instructor. I'd like to know about what experiences you've had with musical instruments, especially with guitar. If you haven't had any, that's ok! You've gotta start somewhere.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I've given formal lessons to the public for a little over a year now, but I've also given some basic and intermediate lessons, tips, tricks and advice to friends and family for years. I've played acoustic and electric guitar for 12 years. I also have experience playing the bass and piano as well, and I've recently been working on my singing! I always like to push myself to improve my musical abilities.
