- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We meet for a trial lesson to have a feel for each other because mutual sympathy is essential when it comes to one-on-one lessons! We talk about plans, goals, dreams and based on the individual's level I suggest how I would work with him/her. I also describe the method I would apply. Then we schedule a regular weekly lesson.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Education: Bachelor and Master of Music and Music Education dual degree at 'The Liszt Academy of Music' Budapest, Hungary. ******************************************* As a singer I have teaching, performing and recording experience in various styles: jazz, pop, rock, gospel, musical and classical for more than 30 years. As a piano teacher I was trained in classical music, therefore I am specialized more in classical piano literature. ******************************************* I am an Adjunct Professor of Applied Jazz Voice at Lewis and Clark College I.
