FAQs
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
First, we have a free 30 minute consultation via Zoom or Skype to get to know each other, to explore needs and goals, and to answer your questions.
If we agree to work together, we set up a lesson schedule. Usually a package of ten lessons initially.
The we get to work. Your lessons will be one-to-one with me, Rex, and the practice will address your particular needs and goals.
These will be working sessions, not chit chat, and you will be expected to complete home practice between sessions.
