- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
During the introductory lesson, your instructor will assess your needs to begin developing a curriculum tailored specifically to you. You will be asked to prepare a piece you feel comfortable with and enjoy singing. Your instructor will assign exercises to address specific technical issues, and discuss your artistic goals. Lesson Length | Weekly private lessons are offered in 30, 45 or 60-minute sessions. For many students, 45-minute lessons are ideal to cover the range of pieces, exercises and assignments for a successful week of practice and progress. Younger beginners and those who would do better with shorter lessons are offered 30-minute lessons. Students who would benefit from longer lessons to cover a greater abundance and depth of material and those looking to progress at a faster rate are offered 60-minute lessons. The teacher will determine the best lesson length for each student during the first lesson, and will reassess throughout the course of the student’s musical journey, to ensure each student has the best opportunity to thrive. We offer a 20 minute Zoom consultation to discuss your needs and give you an overview of our practice. New students may also ask us any questions during the time of the consult. We want all of our students to feel as though they've found the right teacher to meet their needs. If, based on the consultation, it seems like the right student/teacher match, we will schedule the 45 minute introductory lesson from there.
