What Questions Do Customers Most Commonly Ask You?
1. How does your work stand out from others who do what you do?
I teach in a very laid-back, yet highly effective manner. I am extremely encouraging to my students and constantly
think of ways I can improve my teaching, in order for my students to get the most out of their lessons. My goal is
for all who take lessons from me to not only learn the piano well, but also to enjoy the process.
2. Tell about a recent job you did that you are particularly proud of?
The Summer of 2014, I taught Piano to Dance Students at a Dance Academy. The ages of the girls (and a couple
of boys) ranged from 3-13 years of age. It was quite a challenge, for this was my first time teaching 'group
lessons'. Adding more to the challenge was the fact that the students were extremely rambunctious, to say the
least. With God's help, I was so pleased at their performance at the Recital that occurred at the end of the
summer. WHEW! What an experience!
3. What do you like most about your job?
I love witnessing the excitement my students have when they master what at the beginning may have seemed
like an unattainable task. Also, it is very encouraging to witness the 'light-bulb' moment that occurs when my
students actually understand how everything in music comes together.
4. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a Piano Instructor/Teacher like you?
It is important to find a good match between student and teacher. It may take a couple of tries before one finds
the right teacher.
5. If you were advising someone who wanted to get into your profession, what would you suggest?
Absolutely, jump right on in. God gives you the ability to do something that so many people want to learn how to
do. Music is healing, and you will be passing on the love to someone who needs it.
6. If you were a customer, what do you wish you knew about your trade? Any inside secrets to share?
There are some Piano Teachers who do not know how to play the piano at all. Unfortunately, this does exist.
I would advise all potential students (especially those who are new to the the piano) to ask the instructor to play
something for them at the first lesson, if possible. It doesn't have to be the greatest work by the most famous
composer, but it is important that the instructor knows how to actually play the piano.
7. Am I too old to learn how to play the piano?
That is the million dollar question. The answer is "ABSOLUTELY NOT"!!! There is this feeling that exists among so
many adults that learning the piano is something that must occur when one is very young, and that it is
impossible to learn how to play the piano at an advanced age. I hope to dispel this notion and for everyone to
understand that there isn't anything that can't be accomplished, if it be the will of God! Phillipians 4:13. "I can do
all things through Christ which strengtheneth me". (KJV)
8. What is your greatest strength?
I have extreme patience with my students. I do not have a problem explaining the same concept over and over
again until it is understood. Also; Learning To Play the Piano requires repetition, so I constantly encourage my
students to 'hang in there' and not give up.
