Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I use a personalized style of teaching, which means that a new student will be able to choose what style and what songs they would like to learn. Whether acoustic or electric; nylon or steel string, I will design a lesson plan that suits their personal taste as well as the level of playing ability. Exercises will be written out and video recorded, applied to songs that the student wants to learn.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I studied guitar and began to read music at 7 years of age. Private teachers and music theory classes shaped my basic knowledge. Playing with other musicians and finally developing as a songwriter and singer developed my artistic passion. I have shared my musical knowledge in many situations, including teaching all ages of guitar students in a one on one setting.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
My basic price is $40 per lesson for an hour; but I am willing to design a series of lessons weekly to give discounts paid on a monthly basis.
