Weekly Teaching Hours
Mondays, Tuesdays, & Thursdays: 4:30pm - 8:00pm. Lesson times are first come, first serve. Please be on time as I cannot accommodate you if you are too early or late.
Location
I teach out of my home studio in Kalamazoo, MI. Family members are welcome in our home during lessons.
Fees, Payments, & Scholarship
30 minute lessons are $20, 45 minute lessons are $30, and 60 minute lessons are $40. I accept cash, check, or card via Paypal. Payment shall be made on the first lesson of the month for the total number of lessons scheduled that month. For example, if your 30-minute lesson is every Tuesday, and there are four Tuesdays in the current month, you would pay $80 at your first lesson of the month. Below is the calendar of teaching days for the upcoming months. Non-teaching days are slashed in gray. Returned checks will incur the bank fee as well as the original payment due. Scholarship may be available and is decided on a case-by-case basis, please ask about this if needed. There are some other expenses associated with studying privately, although some can be avoided if necessary. For example: music, sheet music, method books.
Cancellation/No-Show Policy
If you need to cancel, please do so 24 hours in advance, otherwise I will have to charge you for the time (medical emergencies excluded, and please do cancel if you have a cold or the flu).
Lesson Preparation & Recitals
While I am here to help and to guide you, most of your development as a singer will happen with consistent, focused practice time. If you practice regularly and ask for advice when you feel your progress is not what you’d like, you should get the most out of your lessons. Bring a device to record your lesson if possible. If not, let me know and I will record for you and email you an mp3. All students are encouraged to participate in the studio recitals.
