FAQs

 

Q: What is a good age to begin voice/piano lessons?

A: I believe that girls should not begin to take regular voice lessons until they have  

     begun adolescence, boys should wait for their voices to change before taking 

     regular voice lessons and piano students should be at least six years old to begin.

 

 

Q: How long is a typical lesson?

A: Most vocal students come once a week for a lesson.  Depending on the goals of the  

      individual taking lessons, some students will come more or less often.  Lessons

      are rarely longer then an hour.  *Piano lessons are 30 minutes, 45 minutes or one

      hour, depending on the age and attention span of the student.

 

 

Q: What does a typical voice lesson entail?

A: In a typical lesson I begin with breathing warm-ups  followed by a series of

     vocalises designed to warm up the voice while training the ear & reinforcing

     breath support.  The last half of the lesson is spent working on repertoire. 

     *Piano lessons begin with keyboard exercises, followed by music theory.  The 

     last half of the lesson is spent on new and old repertoire, which ranges from

     classical to Broadway, jazz and pop styles.

 

 

Q: How much do lessons cost?

A: The cost of a lesson is $100/hour or $65/half hour.  Online sessions are available

      via SKYPE and are one half hour or one hour in length.  The cost is the same as

      in person.

 

 

**Music files and piano accompaniments are available upon request, at an

    additional fee.
