Frequently Asked Questions

Are the Lessons in person or online?

I offer both! The in-person lessons fill up quickly, however, so everyone’s initial consultation is done online or over the phone, and we can discuss the possibility of in-person lessons.

How much do Lessons Cost?

It depends on the student, but the most popular option is a $150 dollar monthly subscription, giving you 4 lessons per month. I also offer hour long lessons, weekly or bi-weekly, and package deals.

How long until I can play like Jimi Hendrix?

Again, it totally depends on the student. Some people are predisposed to be amazing players - but most of us won’t be, and that’s okay!

I’ve seen students achieve some amazing goals by staying consistent, asking questions, and showing up every week.

As a good gauge - if you have never played before, you should start to see some fun results after about 5 or 6 months (meaning you can play a song or two), but I’m always checking in with my students to see how they’re feeling about the lessons and their practice routine.

How do I know if you’re the right teacher for me?

Well, put simply, you don’t! And you might not know for a little while, but that’s why I offer a consultation. It has only happened a few times that we just don’t jive, but it is possible. I know a lot of great teachers and musicians I can refer you to if what you’re interested in learning is not my forte, or the scheduling doesn’t work out.

I offer single lessons for people who are unsure, or you’re free to buy 1 month to try it out!

Will these lessons help to cut down on mine or my child’s screen time?

I sure hope so. I believe that we are all in a bit of a screen-time-crisis, and I’m including myself in that. So much of what we do every day is controlled on a computer, and with our kids we’re worried about video game addiction. I get this question all the time and the answer is simple: if it’s a family decision to cut down on the screen time and make your instrument a new priority, then there’s a great chance that music lessons can help.

But everybody has to be involved. If you think that your kid is going to start playing guitar (which literally hurts at first) instead of Call of Duty just because you are paying for it, think again. If you’re all committed to working together, however, I’ve seen it become a very effective measure for families creating more closeness with one another away from the screens.

Do you work with people who are neurodivergent?

This has become a more common question in the past 2 years, and the answer is a simple YES! I often love working with people who have neuro divergent minds, because they can teach me a lot about myself and my teaching style as well.

I’ve worked with all types of people, and I believe that the core of this job is understanding the person and how they think. Learning doesn’t happen otherwise.
