Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I am a traditional music teacher. With the beginner, will start with knowing the instrument, playing open strings. Most of my beginner students start to play the tune in third or fourth lessons
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I encourage my student to think and to learn. I am an assistant for my student to explore the music. I want my student will be able to self teach a piece without me finally.
I may ask for an interview to accept a student, it's totally free, may through the phone or I drive to you. I only teach one hour lessons, and I do require the parent to sit with the young students for their lessons. If you choose skype lessons, I do require a drive home lesson for at least once a month (except for beginners). Feel free to contact me if you have any question!
