Frequently Asked Questions
I think I'm tone deaf, can I still take voice lessons?
Yes! Singing is a skill that can be developed. While tone-deafness is a real condition, it only affects about 4% of the population. Building the connection between your ear, brain, and voice is possible with practice!
Do I need a piano in my home to take lessons?
Yes, I do require a piano and bench/chair in order to instruct lessons in your home, but no other special equipment is necessary. Keyboards are great as well! Virtual voice students do not need a piano in their space.
Do you offer sibling discounts?
Yes! Members of the same household (this includes parents, too!) receive a 10% discount on their monthly invoice.
I don't ever want to perform, but I want to improve my instrument. Should I still take lessons?
Students take lessons for a wide variety of reasons. Many students are working toward performance goals or professional endeavors, and others are simply taking lessons for personal reasons that may include building confidence, self-care, or simply pursuing a joyful hobby. I encourage anyone with the desire to improve their sound to take lessons, whether they have performance aspirations or not.
What is included in my lesson tuition?
Lesson tuition for voice students covers all practice materials and resources including practice tracks, piano accompaniment, and sheet music. Piano students are responsible for the additional cost of their method books (if applicable).
Can I take multiple lesson concentrations at once?
Yes, many students chose to combine voice and piano concentrations into one weekly lesson. For students under 10 years old, a half hour lesson can cover both voice and piano. For older or more advanced students, I highly recommend 45 or 60 minute lessons to give ample time for improvement on both instruments.
