FAQ
1. What kind of students do you accept?
I've worked with students of all different experience levels and backgrounds. However the best type of student is the one with a clear goal in mind. For example a student that wants to learn how to make their arrangements sound clearer will get much more out of lessons than a student who just wants generic feedback on their music. The more clear you can be about what you want to learn, the more specific we can get with the lessons.
â
2. Do I have to know how to read music?
Not at all! There are no software requirements for lessons and I have experience teaching with both traditional notation and MIDI notation. As long as you have a way to share your work and a reliable process to write new music, there should be no issue.
â
3. How often are lessons?
As often as you'd like. I've worked with students that meet anywhere from once ever three months to multiple times a week. It all depends on your goals and how frequently you want to meet.

4. What are your rates?
If accepted, my rates are $90 for a one hour lesson, or $250 for three one hour lessons.
