Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
One of the first things we work through is discovering the student's learning style and unique interests. These will influence which lesson plans we use moving forward.
It's also important to get the student making music right away so they gain confidence in crafting their sound.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I (Katrina) spent ten years at the University of Northern Iowa working to earn my masters in pedagogy, and then teaching students of all ages in groups and one-on-one. I've also taught through several professional companies in Minnesota over the past couple years.
My colleagues come from a variety of professional backgrounds and have spent years making and learning music as well.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I charge a monthly fee based on lesson length and/or number of students in a class. Lesson prices range from $20 to $75 each.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Take advantage of any free sample lessons or ask for a single trial lesson - all teachers have plenty of information to impart, but it's helpful to assess how your personalities work together first if you want to become your very best.
