First Step
Schedule a Consultation
Send an email to songandwindcoaching@gmail.com with 3 or more days and times you are available for a video conversation or phone call. If after that call I feel and you feel that I can help you with your needs we will formulate a plan and schedule coaching sessions.
Cost structure after the consultation
Costs can vary depending on specific needs, frequency and duration of sessions. The base rate is $75.00 for an hour lesson but not all things need a full hour and often one hour sessions may go longer at no additional cost. Regularly scheduled sessions cost less per session as well. Once we know your needs and both decide to move forward we will figure out the plan, schedule and actual costs for you. Payments are made to CHI Brass and can be done via Zelle, Paypal or Wise or on the CHIBrass.com website.
In person sessions are held in my basement studio in Highland Park Illinois near the Ravinia Festival, the Summer home of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. See below to get an idea of what the studio environment is. Online sessions are held via Google Meet.
