Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I offer the first half-hour lesson free of charge, so that we can get to know one another. It is important for the student to meet me and to see how we work together before making a commitment to move forward with lessons.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been a guitarist, songwriter/composer and producer since the 1990s. Several of my recordings have been licensed for commercial use, and my work has appeared on multiple record labels. As an instructor, I have taught private guitar and music production lessons since 2012. I have also served as a guest artist in Denver Public Schools. I hold a Master of Music Business from Full Sail University.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
$28 per half-hour or $50 per hour. Lessons are billed one month in advance.
