The year is divided roughly into three semesters: fall, winter/spring & summer. Students have a choice of lesson length.  Three options are available: 30 minutes, 45 minutes or 60 minutes. All lessons may be taken weekly or bi-weekly. Payments may be made by cash, check, Venmo, Zelle or PayPal. A list of tuition and fees can be found on the student's account page by logging in on my website.

 
All students taking more than three lessons in any semester pay a studio fee which is due the first lesson of the semester. The studio fee pays for the time spent on administrative work (phone calls, emails, copying music, writing letters of recommendation, repertoire; program development, setting the schedule) and business expenses (purchasing music, vocal journals, pedagogy advancement, and recording equipment upgrades). Families with more than one student only pay one studio fee per semester.

 

 

Performances

Assuming the student is musically prepared and has been taking regular voice lessons at least twice a month, all students have the option to sing in the winter and/or spring concerts/performances. The performance fee covers the cost of renting the venue and the accompanist's fee for rehearsal and performance. It also helps reduce the administrative costs associated with planning and directing the program, the 3+ hour dress rehearsal, organizing the repertoire, setting up and taking down equipment the day of the recital, copying the music for the accompanist and singers, and printing costs of music and programs. A full refund will be issued to any students who have scheduling conflicts with a given concert date.
