FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Lessons are $80 per hour. I do prefer this format, but can consider cases where a 1/2 hour ($50) or 45 minutes ($65) may be more appropriate.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
It is best to have a quick phone call or email exchange to discuss all the particulars, then a preliminary lesson is scheduled to see whether all parties are comfortable, and to see if I am the right fit for you or your young student.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
In addition to my education, a Bachelors of Music in Vocal Performance from Pacific Lutheran University, as well as a having my tuition paid as a Graduate Teaching Assistant (teaching voice and conducting) at Portland State University, in Grad school, I have been both an active professional singer and a voice teacher for over 30 years. I have also been very fortunate to study voice lessons myself with several exceptional teachers.
