Introduction

I am a pianist of 20 years with a masters degree in piano performance, along with professional performing experience in classical, jazz, and rock styles and 9 years of teaching experience. I focus on technique and expression to allow my students to achieve their musical goals in the quickest way possible with ease of playing.

Q&A

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

I set my pricing based on my years of experience teaching, my credentials, and the different practice methods that I can teach in order to speed up the rate of learning the piano.

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

I generally start with asking students what goals they have in mind with learning the piano, and then focus on overcoming troublespots in their playing by means of different practice methods that I have learned either from other teachers or on my own.

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

I have a Masters in Music in collaborative piano from Illinois State University, a Bachelor's of music performance from Aurora University, and a certificate in service playing from the American Guild of Organists.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

I started teaching piano lessons when I was at Aurora University.

What types of customers have you worked with?

I have worked with children as young as 5 years old to students as old as 56 years.

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

I am working on a project called the Oswego Chamber Musicians in which I and my friends and colleagues can perform concerts around in the Chicagoland area in different styles of music, from opera to jazz and pop. It is currently still ongoing!

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

I would say that it is important to find a piano teacher that you can connect with that helps you to achieve what you want in your playing of the piano.

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

I would recommend letting a piano teacher know what your goals are with learning the piano as well as asking them their teaching philosophy and approach in general to piano teaching.
