Starting Your Studio Schedule & Pricing

You can take this course in multiple ways: 

1. Entrepreneurship Workshop:  12 weeks long, offered 1-2 a year with training modules, homework, and weekly entrepreneurship feedback in a Zoom classroom setting.
2. Pedagogy Workshop:  12 weeks long, offered 1-2 times a year, with 29 training modules and a weekly pedagogy practicum answering your questions, including analysis of your students.
3. Entrepreneurship & Pedagogy Workshop:  the above two courses will be held in subsequent hours and can be taken at the same time.
4. Pedagogy:  29 pre-recorded modules availbe to start at any time and at your own pace.  Includes two 30-minute private pedagogy lessons where you can ask questions and/or bring in clips of your students.

Entrepreneurship would be a good fit for a new teacher, or a seasoned teacher, wanting to build their business. 

Pedagogy would be a good fit for a new teacher who needs foundational information, or a seasoned teacher wanting additional professional development in both classical and mix/belt productions.

When and Where:  The course will be held on Zoom (because there are students from across the country) at a time to be determined.  I just finished these courses and will annouce future dates.  If you wish to be notified of those dates, email [email protected]

Course Design:  Some portions of the course will be flipped with reflective/research assignments (entrepreneurship)  and watching the pre-recorded course content in advance of class to be discussed in class.  The many hours of pedagogical training are divided up into 20-ish minute increments you can watch on your phone or laptop.  Other portions of the course will be presentations, answering your pedagogical questions or master class style.

Vocal Cross Training: Pedagogy to Performance Schedule & Pricing

Why this course?  I thought I was so prepared to teach. I had a masters degree from an internationally renowned  conservatory and lots of singing under my belt.  In less than one week of teaching, I realized I really wasn't prepared to be an independent studio teacher.  Why?  Because I could only sing and teach in one style.  My students expected me to be able to teach them music theater, pop, jazz, classical, etc. Not gonna lie, that was a punch in the face I didn't see coming.  Word to the wise, in my 21 years of teaching, I have only had a handful of students who wanted to exclusively study classical vocal production.  Adaption or Extinction time.  I chose Adaption, which has been a big but delicious learning curve.  Let me give you a shortcut!

When and Where:  The course will be held on Zoom (because there are students from across the country).  I just finished this course and will be posting upcoming dates.  If you wish to be notified of these dates, email [email protected]

Course Design:  Each class period will begin with pedagogical instruction having to do with the differences between classical and mix/belt breathing, conditioning warm-ups, vocal tract shaping, vocal fold configuration, styling, vocal production analysis, amplification, ornamentation, and storytelling.  The remaining class time will feature student performances and subsequent master class style feedback referencing and building on the pedagogical instruction.

Pricing:  $600 (made in two payments)
