Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I start with getting to know the student with an evaluation of the talent and challenges the student has. Then I want to know the goal of the student. Your training is specifically talored to each student.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I started studying music privately at age 7. Then at Prospect College, Edna Manley School of Arts and with many private mentors such as Jazz Extraordineer Ernest Ranglin. I then spent years developing my art while working in the industry as a proformer, mentor, and producer.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
Pricing are kept affordable with the aim of helping every one who ernestly desire my help. Private sessions average about $65.00 per hour
How did you get started teaching?
I always love teaching and really more so I love helping others to enjoy the successes I have enjoyed myself. In 2010 I decided to leave the road to focus on family. That gave birth Prestige Music Center.

What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
First, find a coach who is interested in your success and not just your dollar. Find someone with a proven record in the area of expertize. Find Value for your money. Find someone some you can trust and enjoy working with.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Does the teacher has the historical experience to help me achieve my goal? How long do you intend to train? How much do I have to spend? Does the techer has a finance program available? ( I offer interest free finance) . These are a few questions I would be asking.
