- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
After the free trial lesson, my prices and policies are as follows: 1. $90 per hour 2. $70 per 45 minutes 3. 15% savings on all 5 lesson packages! 4. 20% savings on all 10 lesson packages! 5. I offer a free lesson for every singer you refer to me. 6. Students who cancel without 24 hours notice are responsible for the full price of the lesson.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to meet a new student for a trial lesson first. This is an opportunity for us to see if we are a good fit, and to get an idea of what the steps need to be in order to achieve their goals. We work through a piece of music and vocalize. Then I like to talk through a plan of action for us, whether that student wants help putting a recital together, whether they have a chorus they sing with and need a technical "game-plan" to get through a concert, or whether they love singing and just want to learn to sing for fun! Many of my students are preparing for college auditions, in which case we focus on that. Some are performing with amateur theaters in Queens and need help preparing their music. Others are choir members that need help learning notes. Whatever the case, I design a curriculum of sorts so that during our time together, we can accomplish the student's objectives and have fun!
