FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Tuition is charged monthly, at a flat rate based on a 4-week month. Lessons are taught weekly, in 30, 45, or 60-minute slots. I accept tuition payments through Venmo, PayPal and Zelle as well as in cash. Payment structure is as follows: 60 minute lessons: $400/month 45 minute lessons: $300/month 30 minute lessons: $200/month
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
All new students are welcome to receive a free trial lesson, in which we can meet, I can hear them play (or introduce them to the violin if they haven't had any previous instruction), and we can discuss goals for private lessons together! This is also a great time for any questions and for going over my Studio Policies together.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have both a Bachelor's Degree (2014) and a Master's Degree (2016) in Violin Performance from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, where I was the recipient of the Sergei Barsukov Violin Scholarship and Concertmaster of the Conservatory Orchestra. I have been teaching students of all ages and abilities since 2010, and have created my own curriculum of pieces and exercises to help students succeed!
