Lesson Length

  • I teach 55 minute voice lessons.

  • Example: Wednesday: 5pm - 5:55pm EST

  • Children 10 - 13 years old can work with me for 25 minute lessons focusing on proper breathing, not straining, vowel shapes, intervals, major scales, and artistic expression

Virtual Lessons

  • My system runs on an efficient Monthly payment system equaling to $340 a month.

  • I do not do trial voice lessons because there is a start up process and would be a waste of everyone’s time. Also 1 month commitment of lessons is the only real way to see significant improvement.

  • If for some reason you decide to stop lessons, we can discuss a prorate.

  • Before we start lessons, I require all my students and their guardian to sign a document to make sure we all understand how my studio works. This short document clearly explains the reschedule, cancelation policy, and other details.

  • Send payment to one of the following: Zelle, PayPal, Venmo

Virtual Video Set Up

  • Our Lessons will be online using “Google Meet” similar to zoom but easier

  • I will send you and/or your child a google calendar invite/email and there will be a video link and they will clicks the button "Join Google Meet"

  • Audio Setting: Noise Cancellation OFF

What Students Need

  • Computer/Ipad: PC or Mac Computer or Ipad with working video camera. Please no lessons on smart phones, as it lowers the quality of our lessons.

  • USB MIC: I recommend my students buy a usb mic that they can connect to their computer or ipad easily for a more high quality sound. Lessons are still available without a mic as I have taken online voice lessons from my own teacher for 5 years without one pre-pandemic. Very high frequencies are the only issue. Note, with usb mics, you do not have to download any software. They are VERY user friendly.

    • Mic Option: AUDIOPRO USB Microphone $40. A great mic with similar quality to the Blue Yeti. Audiopro is a less expensive brand because it’s a less popular. (this can connect to a MAC or PC)

Late Policy

If the student will be late, have them text or call me as soon as possible. THOUGH If I have a student right after them, I have to stop our lesson at our scheduled time to respect the next student's time. The missed time will not be made up.
