All Lesson Packages Include:
Vocal technique training - Through warm-ups and exercises, we will focus on proper vocal technique; This includes auditory recall, breath management, alignment, vocal range and quality. We will then apply this knowledge to the repertoire we are working on. Warm-ups will be recorded, so that students will be able to practice on their own.
Vocal Hygiene - There will be a focus on vocal hygiene, as it relates to singing, speaking and functioning in our every day lives. Basic vocal anatomy will be explained to give students a well rounded understanding of how to best take care of their instrument and avoid vocal misuse.
Repertoire building - The student and I will work together to build a book of prepared pieces for any opportunity that comes their way. We will practice material that they wish to work on, along with repertoire properly suited for their voice that I will recommend.
Understanding of music theory - Students will learn basic music theory as it relates to the voice and singing. They will learn how to apply this knowledge to their repertoire, helping them to become better singers and musicians. Music theory workbooks (Alfred’s) can be purchased for an additional fee, should students or parents request more advanced music theory training during our lessons.
Performance training - Learning how to sing a song is only half the battle! Students will learn how to effectively communicate with their audience through vocal performance, helping them to become more confident and skilled on stage.
1:1 progress consultation - at the end of each package, I will have a discussion with the student and/or parent to assess progress and discuss goals moving forward.

*Cancellation Policy: I kindly request at least 24 hours notice for all cancellations. A make up lesson will be offered, and if we are unable to reschedule, we will resume the following week. If you cancel within a 24 hour period, you will be responsible for 50% of the total lesson cost. Should you cancel within 8 hours of your lesson time, you will be charged the full amount of the lesson. Emergencies, illnesses and unforeseen circumstances happen, and I will always work with you to find a fair solution. If regular cancellations occur, however, you may be asked to switch to a “single lesson” schedule. No-shows will not receive a make up lesson or refund.
