PAYMENT

Payment is made on a lesson-by-lesson basis. Payment is required prior or before completing the lesson. If payment is not received by 8:00 PM the day of the lesson, a formal payment request will be made via email. Payment must be made no later than 24 hour after the payment request notice. If payment is not made, future lessons will be terminated. Payment is accepted via Cash, Check, Venmo, and Zelle.

CANCELLATION

Cancellation must be made before 24 hours of your scheduled lesson time. If a cancellation is made within 24 hours of your scheduled lesson time, it is requested that you reschedule your lesson before the coming Sunday. If you are able to reschedule before the coming Sunday, the full rate of the lesson is charged along with the room fee of the cancelled date. If a cancellation is made within 24hours of your scheduled lesson and you cannot reschedule before the coming Sunday, the full rate of the lesson will be charged.

STUDIO SPACE

Studio space is conditional upon availability of rental studios. Because of this, numerous studio spaces are utilized so that lesson availability is as flexible as possible. The primary studio space used is Opera America. However, secondary studio spaces include Open Jar Studios, Ripley Grier, and Pearl Studios. If you have a preference in studio space, please indicate which studio. Pending preference of studio that differences in rental rates, room fee may be added to the lesson charge with notice.

ACCOMPANIMENT

In lessons, I focus my attention on technical adjustments that allow for a more free and embodied sound to be released. I accompany all vocalises but I do not accompany repertoire. It is requested that you bring tracks to sing with or bring an accompanist if you so choose. Most accompanists charge about $10-$15 per track pending complexity of accompaniment (Sondheim, Guettel, etc). If you need contacts for these services, please let me know and I am happy to forward you to some wonderful accompanists. A third party accompanist may be brought into lessons to accompany the repertoire portion of the lesson for a separate fee (most accompanists rates are between $25-$30 for 30 minutes). If you are interested in bringing in an accompanist to lessons but do not have access to an accompanist, please notify me.
