Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

That I'm in the same ballpark with other piano teachers and am reasonable.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

I get to know their musical tastes,experience, and their goals. If they don't know, I can help them figure it out.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

Classical training since age 4, some jazz piano performing , classical and contemporary piano major at James Madison University.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

I was drawn to the piano as a child at age 3. My parents recognized little melodies I'd play and got me into training immediately. I had a very musical family. I started playing with a trio and was making money at age 12 and ever since. I always say that music chose me. I don't remember wondering what I was meant to do.

What types of customers have you worked with?

Small children, teens,adults and musicians wanting to work in ear training,older,retired people who want to play the piano that’s been in their living room all through the years.

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

Entertaining a group of patients in a senior living complex. I put together a sing-a-long and entertainment show. It came together. quickly.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Ask any questions you wish to know, let the prospective teacher know your goals and go by your instincts...if you feel a connection. It's important to have a good relationship with your teacher. You learn better and have trust.

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

That I am not just a teacher, I am a performer as well and I have the insight of both. I have lots of little tricks that I use in live performance to enhance what people are hearing and seeing.
