Logistics

• ​ Weekly and Biweekly lessons are offered on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

• Fridays and Saturdays are "Drop-In" lesson days for those needing a tune-up. These days are also available for those who want to work more regularly, but can't make Tues/Wed. (However, due to my tour schedule, availability on these days is somewhat irregular.)

• There are also several Mondays available in the latter part of this year, to offset my weekend absences.

• Conact me for specific availability as well as rates. 

• If you need last minute audition/tour prep help contact me. I may be able to work you in.

• This is a personal question. Most students progress more quickly with continual, regular guidance, of course. When possible, I always advocate for this option. However, this is not always possible. If your current life demands only allow you irregular availability, I still want to work with you in a non-pressured way. I will encourage you to be as "regular" as you can, even if that is very sparse. I keep notes on our lessons. I remember specifically what your voice sounded like months ago. I will be in your corner however we can work it out! 

• I help you devise a practice routine that suits you. At the end of each lesson, I clarify that you have understood the concepts we have covered and are clear on what to practice. I encourage you to record your lessons so that you can listen back and practice with the recording. Some students find it valuable to take notes on the recording. 

• For those in the midst of gig season, musicals, and tours, I help you devise a plan that is actually actionable with the limited energy you may have. We get very efficient and specific about it so that you can balance your entire well-being while keeping your voice on point and growing. 

• I offer both options. I work from my home studio in the South Loop of Chicago, Illinois. There is plenty of easy parking and lots of CTA options. I'm also happy to meet online via zoom. You must have a laptop/desktop (phones and tablets don't give good enough sound setting options) as well as a pair of chorded headphones and a good internet connection. Your computer mic is usually perfectly fine. I do not generally advise online lessons for absolute beginners (though it is possible if necessary), but for everyone else, I think it is perfectly fine.
