Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I assess the level of a student to start,and then use appropriate music that is familiar or enjoyable to them to learn necessary techniques.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
In addition to receiveing a formal education,I have 30 years of private teaching experience.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
Tuition is paid on a monthly basis,and depends on the length of weekly lessons.
A beginner will usually start with 30 minutes,1x per week,which has a tuition of $150/month.
How did you get started teaching?
I always was the one amongst my friends that was showing those who were having trouble with music how to do things correctly.
But, I actually began teaching professionally in the studio that I learned in while I was still in college.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with all types of students(beginners,advanced,gigging musicians) from age 4 to adult and everything in between.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
A former student of mine had an upcoming show that he needed a guitar solo learned for,but just couldn't perfect it on his own.
We sat down,and within an hour he was ready for his gig.
I love being able to help,and have an opportunity to use one of my quotes like ..."it's not that you can't do it, you just can't do it yet."
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Read reviews and know that experience is key.
A teacher's insight to quickly assess a problem and relay it in a way that is easily understood by the individual is only gained through experience.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Can you teach me the music that I enjoy?
How long should it take for me to start playing actual music?
While of course every student is different and learns in their unique way at their own pace,the best way to be able to learn music, is to play music right from the start.
If the answer to the second question is anything other than immediately or almost immediately,prepare to be bored.
