A FEW NOTES ABOUT HOW THINGS WORK
NOTE TO OTHER TEACHERS
If you are an instrumental teacher yourself looking at this out of interest,
why not contact me as I am keen on networking. If you have vacancies let me know. I am keen to get to know other singing teachers, as I often have too many enquiries to handle and would like to be in a position to refer on. I am especially interested in connecting with a singing teacher who works with the examination system.

FEES
|
The charge for your initial consultation will be £30, payable in advance.
My fee for regular lessons is £27 per hour. You can pay weekly, but there are fee reductions for people booking and paying for a block of up to 10 lessons in advance.
Singers Master Classes and Learn to Read Music Classes are £10 for guests and £6 for pupils of Unlock the Music.
|
FIRST LESSON
|
The first lesson is an introductory session and will give you a flavour of how I work. We will also discuss possible dates and times. I will tell you if I think we can work together and you will then need to decide whether you would like to take up my offer.
If you decide to take up the offer, I will ask you to complete a registration document.
|
LENGTH and FREQUENCY OF LESSONS
|
Adults have hour lessons and most children have half an hour. Some teenagers have hour lessons. It all depends on what you want to achieve and what you can afford.
Some people commission two lessons a week for a period prior to an audition.
For maximum benefit from any music lessons you need to attend at least fortnightly, especially if you do have auditions or performances coming up or if you have some issues with your vocal production that you want to work on.
I do not accept pupils who want to attend occassionaly, but I do accept people who want to take a 6-10 week course of lessons, rather than on-going lessons. Payment for these is usually in advance.
