Tuition Plans
I offer two payment plans for lesson tuition. Except in unusual circumstances, I recommend the Subscription Plan, under which students schedule recurring weekly lessons and agree to be billed automatically for each month’s lessons (and any incidental expenses such as music purchases) on the last day of the month preceding the lessons. Students participating in the Subscription Plan receive a discounted tuition rate. Students for whom the terms of the Subscription Plan are inconvenient may schedule at will under the “Pay-Per-Lesson” plan. Tuition rates for both plans are outlined below.
And while we’re on that subject: 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, review the (if I say so myself) convincing list of facts about what makes me different from other music teachers, or just visit the homepage of this site, where I’ve assembled a slideshow of quotes from students confirming the value of what I have to offer.
I do hope you’ll like what you see enough to schedule a free initial consultation, where you and I can talk about your goals and how I can help you achieve them. I’m looking forward to helping you make your music!

*My Scheduling page includes a list of holidays and other events that affect my teaching availability. 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 categorized as “planned” (an “unplanned absence,” e.g., instructor illness), affected students will be offered either an opportunity to reschedule or a credit, applied 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.
