Voice Lessons
1. What's it going to cost me?
The following payment info has changed since July 2026. Lessons will now be charged as a monthly tuition. This means you will have the SAME COST every month, regardless of how many weeks there are in a month, or if there are holidays.
There will be a make-up week in each semester for lessons that are missed for illness or other reasons.
PRIVATE LESSONS
Students/Families should expect the following investment paid monthly, by first lesson of the month REGARDLESS of weeks in the month for a
30 min lesson / week:
MONTHLY TUITION - $140

1 hr lesson / week:
MONTHLY TUITION - $280
GROUP / FAMILY MUSIC LESSONS
*contact me for pricing
All lessons automatically include 2 studio classes per semester, with accompanist.
(Studio Classes are singer ONLY opportunities for my students to sing for each other and get feedback. These are WONDERFUL opportunities for practice in performance!)
Costs:
Tuition (above)
Note: If payment is not received by end of 2nd lesson of the month, lessons will be put on hold until payment is received.
Books/sight singing/materials are the student's responsibility. These will be a case by case basis. I will send you links or you can pay me back if we decide something is needed.
Any additional fees or charges required based on the student and situation. (late fee, accompanist/entry fee, etc.)
Recital Fee is TBD. It will go toward rental space, accompanist and refreshments in the Spring.
Payment method can be set up in the My Music Staff portal for automatic draft, or pay easily in the invoice you will be sent monthly.
2. Do I have to show up? And what if I get sick or can't come?
Yes. Please plan to attend all lessons scheduled. If an illness/conflict arises, you may cancel by phone call (leave a message if the call is not answered), text message, or email as soon as possible (preferably by 9pm the evening before, or at the latest, by 9am the morning of the scheduled lesson) otherwise, you will be charged the full fee for the lesson.
If I have to cancel a lesson due to illness, emergency, or unavoidable conflict, you will be notified ASAP and I will provide a makeup lesson whene reasonably possible, or provide a studio credit if a makeup cannot be scheduled. I will always be respectful of your time and expect you to show me the same courtesy. Please inform me ASAP if you are sick or think you may be getting sick and do NOT plan to attend a voice lesson while you are or may possibly be contagious. Communication is KEY.
3. Do I have to do anything outside of the lessons?
If you'd like to improve, yes! Practice! (and do so consistently!)
4. What do I need to bring to my lesson?
A folder with your music (if copied, it should be hole-punched and in a 3-ring binder), sight-reading book if applicable, and a PENCIL. Always, a pencil.
5. How will I know what I need to work on?
Each lesson will have at least one objective, but I highly advise you to bring some form of recording device so you can revisit the lesson, practice with it, and have an audible record of your progress. I will also be giving you copious notes to take in your music and otherwise. Some extra paper or a notebook may be helpful.
6. Do I have to perform?
Performing is a vital part of growing as a singer. While it can be scary and nerve-wracking to share your instrument with a live audience, most of our fears come from the unknown aspects of "what if" thoughts while you are on stage. I strive to make my studio one of support, encouragement, and fun! I hope this will be an atmosphere that provides much growth in your singing journey. You'll always have me cheering you on!
This year we will be using My Music Staff (MMS) for communication, notes, links, payments and everything. I know everything has a "portal" now, but it makes it easier for me to communicate with all of you to make sure everyone gets the info you need - and in one place!
As I am firguring this out, please be patient! It might take me a couple of months to get the hang of it. :)
