This program is a solid stepping
stone for singers embarking on university studies and
professional careers. Selected students may be offered
an opportunity to participate in competitions and
evaluations offered through the Music Teachers
Association of California, the National Association of
Teachers of Singing, the Associated Board of the Royal
Schools of Music and other entities.
Students may be required to purchase
anywhere from three-to-six music books in a
six-to-twelve month period. These books are readily
available through online outlets. Other optional books
may be recommended. Songs are selected for the student
by the teacher. Songs texts will be in English, Italian,
French and German. It is the student’s responsibility to
learn the songs. The teacher is not responsible for
teaching the notes of the songs. Students are expected
to learn and memorize assigned songs in a timely
fashion. Students are expected to record every lesson
and maintain a lesson journal.
Lessons for advanced students are
flexible and are geared toward individual need and
expertise. Advanced students hone existing skills, work
to eliminate deficits and add greater dimension to their
practice and performance capabilities.
Students are expected to show up on
time for lessons. On-time means 5-to-10 minutes early.
Prospective students must book a
preliminary consultation. While music education and
singing is for everyone, not every teacher is for every
student and vice versa. The 30-minute lesson fee applies
to the consultation appointment. Please see the Rates
& Policy page for more information. |
