Lesson Organization and Payment:

 

Lessons can be booked as single lessons or as a bundle. You can find information on the Pricing page.  For payment, I will send you a payment request once we have scheduled the lessons. Invoices are available upon request.

 

The teaching year is split into 2 terms:

September – January

February - July

After the end of each term, students are welcome to participate in a studio recital.

​

​

Cancelling or Rescheduling Lessons:

 

To reschedule a lesson for anything other than illness or an emergency, it must be arranged at least 2 days prior to the lesson and must be made up in the month of that lesson time (the month a single lesson is paid for or within the lesson bundle timeline).

 

 **If you are ill, unable to sing, or a member of your close family has shown signs of illness, please let me know and another time will be arranged.

If you are somewhat well and would still like the lesson, we can easily work on many of the other parts of singing (music theory, listening, music history, character study) in an online lesson.

If you cancel with less than 24 hours notice and it is not an emergency/illness, please note that the planned lesson fee will still apply.

If I, the teacher, need to cancel a lesson, a make-up lesson will be given.

• A nurturing studio that lets the student explore their own unique voice and artistry.

• Technical exercises taught in the lessons which give the student the opportunity to learn the muscular skills needed to sing.
