History & Goals

The fol­low­ing infor­ma­tion is option­al, but spend­ing a few min­utes now to pro­vide thought­ful respons­es will make our first meet­ing much more enjoy­able and pro­duc­tive!
What expe­ri­ence does the stu­dent have as a singer? In what set­ting? Under whose lead­er­ship? For how long? How long ago? (option­al)
What oth­er instru­ments has the stu­dent studied/played, and for how long? (option­al)
I’m delib­er­ate­ly being vague here. What adjectives/images/metaphors might the stu­dent use to describe their own voice and/or their own expe­ri­ence of singing?
What does the stu­dent love about their voice? (option­al, but strong­ly rec­om­mend­ed!)
What vocal chal­lenges, strug­gles, or prob­lems would the stu­dent like help with? (option­al)
What music does the stu­dent enjoy singing? What spe­cif­ic titles might they enjoy work­ing on with a teacher? Links to YouTube or oth­er record­ings are par­tic­u­lar­ly help­ful here! (option­al)
Les­son Pri­or­i­ties
This list includes var­i­ous ben­e­fits that many stu­dents expe­ri­ence from tak­ing music lessons. Please check the box next to up to three (3) which are MOST impor­tant to you as you think about study­ing voice. (NOTE: This is not a trick ques­tion or an attempt to “weed any­one out.” There are no wrong answers here!)
What else is impor­tant to you as you think about study­ing voice?

Medical Information

Has the stu­dent been vac­ci­nat­ed against COVID-19?
Out of respect for immuno­com­pro­mised stu­dents and fam­i­ly mem­bers, stu­dents sched­ul­ing in-per­son lessons must have received at least one full course of COVID-19 vac­ci­na­tion.
Does the stu­dent wear a chest binder while singing?
What med­ica­tions does the stu­dent take reg­u­lar­ly?
These selec­tions rep­re­sent a sam­ple of the most com­mon med­ica­tions that often affect vocal pro­duc­tion. Shar­ing this infor­ma­tion pro­vides help­ful con­text for me, but is com­plete­ly option­al.
What else should I know about before we meet pri­vate­ly? (option­al)
