Tuition plans

I know my rates are among the high­est in the area. I’ve put in a lot of hours, edu­ca­tion, and hard work to become (and remain) a top-tier voice teacher with a unique voca­tion, and I believe my stu­dents get what they pay for.  If you’re not yet con­vinced, I encour­age you to watch a few of the video tes­ti­mo­ni­als stu­dents have record­ed for me in the past, or just vis­it the home­page of this site, where I’ve com­piled (if I say so myself) a con­vinc­ing list of facts about what makes me dif­fer­ent from oth­er music teach­ers, plus a slideshow of quotes from stu­dents con­firm­ing the val­ue of what I have to offer.

Half-hour lessons

Half-hour lessons include ∼25 min­utes of teach­ing time.  (I reserve 5 min­utes at the end of each les­son to update your les­son notes and pre­pare for my next stu­dent.)  Lessons can be can­celled or resched­uled until 24 hours before the sched­uled les­son time.

*I do not offer lessons on New Year’s Eve→Day, Memo­r­i­al Day, June­teenth, Inde­pen­dence Day, Labor Day, Thanks­giv­ing Day, Christ­mas Eve→Day, or on Elec­tion Days (spring and fall).  I also take one week each sum­mer to par­tic­i­pate in Shenan­doah Conservatory’s Insti­tute for Con­tem­po­rary Com­mer­cial Music Vocal Ped­a­gogy, and an addi­tion­al week of fam­i­ly vaca­tion dur­ing the year.  These instruc­tor absences are con­sid­ered “planned absences,” and are fac­tored into Sub­scrip­tion Plan rates, so stu­dents are not offered make­up lessons for these can­cel­la­tions.  In the event that I need to can­cel a les­son beyond those described above (an “unplanned absence,” e.g., instruc­tor ill­ness), affect­ed stu­dents will receive a cred­it that applies to the fol­low­ing month’s invoice.

†PPL lessons must be paid for in advance.  A $10 late pay­ment fee will be added to the tuition of any les­son not paid in full pri­or to the les­son start time, unless the les­son has been can­celled or resched­uled more than 24 hours pri­or to the sched­uled start time.
