Lessons
Private lessons are offered in 30- and 60- minute sessions. You will practice effective
techniques and exercises to build and strengthen the voice.
Each student is different. The value of one-on-one instruction is customization,
diagnosing a student's strengths and weaknesses and finding the right exercises to
address problem areas. For one to improve, one must practice consistently outside
studio time. Results vary by student. Patience, discipline, and the desire to improve
are necessary for vocal improvement and success.
Bring in songs (via iPod or CD) or original material you would like to work on as well as
bottled water. As a courtesy, each lesson is recorded on CD to take home and
practice. Weekly or bi-monthly lessons are encouraged for optimal results.
Tuition
Per lesson: 30 minutes: $25
1 hour: $50
Note: Lessons are offered in groups of 2-3 upon request. Special circumstances may
be accommodated. The most ideal learning experience would be one-to-one. Please
inquire with Cat for more information.
