Q&A

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

Very reasonable for top notch professional music instructor. Affordability is also important.

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

A meeting to discuss details and answer questions before starting to work together.

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

Much experience in teaching with many successful students, with much positive feedback from their college professors. I also studied music in College.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

I started piano lessons at the age of 6 & always enjoyed it. As a teenager I had interest in teaching after having peers coming to me asking for help between lessons & telling me that I would be a great teacher. At the age of 15 I had a family that requested that I teach 3 of their kids & I've taught consistently since. Then I proceeded to go to college for music. I see the need to teach others the right way.

What types of customers have you worked with?

Piano & vocal lessons are most common. All ages 5+. Materials are catered to each student. Experience teaching people with disabilities. Teaches all around music classes, conducts choirs & plays professionally.

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

I am fond of learning the most difficult piano pieces out there as well as always pushing myself to always practice piano and voice.

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

Look for a teacher that teaches theory, technic, and correct form as these are vitally important for the foundation of music.

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

My focus is helping each one of my students excel & reach their dreams in music. Everyone of my students will be taught to their full potential, as long as they take lessons long enough with me and apply themselves. My students are known to pass out of the 1st theory class in college for music as well as usually place high in competitions.
