studio policies:
location:
- Lessons are given at my studio, which is located at 740 N. 2800 W. Ogden, Utah 84404. For Directions on Google - CLICK HERE
What do I need to know:
- I play for all students, but we also use instrumental tracks in our lessons when needed.
- I use an online student portal which allows all students and parents 24/7 access to their music. Once lessons are scheduled, access will be give for full usage.
what ages i teach:
- 16+ is my preferred age.
- I don't work with children under 15. If you have a young student who is interested in getting some vocal coaching, I would suggest enrolling them into a group program which works specifically with young voices.
- Why? My process is more intense than most young students are able to keep up with, and most young voices aren't ready to take on the kind of muscle work that I ask them to do.
- Where can young students go to learn? There are a number of good instructors/groups in the are who are perfect for students under 15. If you need recommendations - feel free to reach out via email and I'd be happy to give you some suggestions.
How long are lessons:
- All lessons are 1 hour in length. I don't teach anythng shorter than an hour.
WHAT TO BRING:
- Students are expected to arrive on time and with all necessary materials. This may include sheet music, a recording device, water, notebook etc.
- Students are highly encouraged to bring some kind of recording device to record lessons. These recordings are a great tool for practicing during the interim.
CANCELLATIONS:
- For in-person lessons, if you make a cancellation within 4 hours of the lesson, you will get full credit for the lesson as well as priority re-scheduling.
- If you make a cancellation less than 4 hours prior to the lesson, no lesson credit will be given for the lost lesson. I do however understand certain circumstances are beyond our control, and I will take each cancellation on a case by case basis.
- Virtual Lessons: If you cancel a lesson at least 2 hours prior to start of lesson, credit will be given. A no show or no contact will result in no make up credit given.
ILLNESS:
- Students should not come in for lessons if they are seriously ill or have been sick in the 24 hours prior to their lesson. Please contact me ASAP if you feel you will not be able to make your upcoming lesson, and we will make every attempt to re-schedule.
- If you only feel a little bit under the weather - but feel you can still sing - contact me for a virtual lesson. It's an easy option! :)
- Please be courteous to me and kind to yourself. If you can't speak, you can't sing.
