Studio Policy
Illness policy: Please let me know ASAP if you are unwell for your lesson! I accept unlimited reschedules and cancellations with no penalty if you feel unwell. Please do not pass the plague to me. The physical condition of your larynx will affect how much work we can do with it during your lesson.
Rescheduling & Cancellations (non-emergency/non-medical): Change it in my online scheduler or inform me at least 24hrs before your lesson. Penalty for not being responsible is 50% of your lesson fee. Please respect your time slot as someone else could have used it if you didn’t! There’s no limit on how many lessons can be rescheduled or cancelled.
Exercises: You set the pace of your growth. I prescribe exercises for your voice that will achieve results. Not doing them will slow your progress. Your vocal development requires you to spend TIME exploring your voice. Time does not honour what it was not given. A voice teacher is a guide to your invisible instrument.
Lesson Payments: Lesson fees should be paid at the end of each lesson. You may also choose to pay for each scheduled month's lesson fees at the beginning of each month. Please pay your lesson fees on time, otherwise I will make myself unavailable to teach you more lessons until you have paid off the lesson fees owed.
Singing tools: I might ask you to bring in an inexpensive and easily accessible tool for your next lesson. E.g. a straw or a piece of paper. Please do because these tools teach us a lot!
Accompaniment: I am here to help your voice! And I am not a pianist. Should you need to sing a piece with piano, please arrange on your end.
Online: You are responsible for having access to a reliable internet connection, as well as a sufficient electronic device for your viewing and aural experience.
Contact hours: You may send me emails regarding your singing at any time of day. This is useful for when you are trying out new exercises and get confused. I’ll try to reply as soon as possible.
