FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I have several pricing options for students depending on whether they choose weekly or biweekly lessons, and I also offer 30-, 45-, and 60-minute sessions to allow for greater flexibility for my students. Lessons are charged on a monthly basis, and the following rates apply: For a single lesson, the pricing is as follows: 30-minute lesson - $70 45-minute lesson - $100 60-minute lesson - $130 For 2 lessons per month, the monthly price is as follows: 30-minute lessons: $120 45-minute lessons: $160 60-minute lessons: $200 For 1 lesson per week, the monthly price is as follows: 30-minute lessons - $200 45-minute lessons - $270 60-minute lessons - $340 Payment is due at or before the time of the first lesson of every month. Students who have weekly lessons pay a lower per-lesson rate because they are reserving and committing to a regular lesson time.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
When I meet with a new student for their first lesson, my process involves finding out what the student's goals and objectives are, as well as asking questions about what the student enjoys. Healthy technique can be applied to any style of singing. My students have the best results when they sing what they love! I also present the basics of healthy vocal technique, which involves breath support, vocal exercises, and understanding how the voice works.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a Bachelor's degree in Vocal Performance from the University of Wyoming, where I graduated with Honors for my research in vocal pedagogy. As a professional singer, I lived abroad in Brazil for several years, during which time I worked with classical music professionals from Brazil, Italy, France, and the U.S. in both academic and professional settings, where I built real-world experience which I find invaluable for teaching my own private students. I also specialize in contemporary belting technique for musical theater, pop, rock, and jazz students who wish to follow this path. As a crossover singer myself, I understand the crucial differences between classical and pop singing and apply this accordingly to my students based on their singing goals. Many of my students also learn to cross over into various styles as well.
