What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I like to meet the student and his/her parents before beginning tutoring or piano lessons so that the child will become familiar with me and feel comfortable with coming to piano lessons/tutoring.

It also gives me the chance to get to know the child and his/her interests and to be able to select materials that I believe the child will respond best to!
