Flick Vocal Studio

Tuition
Current rates are $25 for a half hour lesson and $50 for an hour lesson.
All lessons are private, there are currently no group classes offered.
Tuition may be paid at the beginning of each month or per lesson. If a
student is habitually absent or late in payments, they may be required to
submit tuition at the beginning of each month.

Attendance
Regularity and consistency are important to your vocal progress. Please be
on time and ready to sing, with your voice lightly warmed up if possible.
Lessons generally work on a tight schedule, so if you are late for a lesson we
probably will not be able to extend your lesson past your scheduled time slot.

Canceling a Lesson
If you must cancel your lesson for any reason, I require at least 24 hours
notice. Emergencies happen, and I always try to understand such instances.
If you have a sudden emergency, please let me know as soon as possible.
Please note that I try not to answer my phone during lessons, so you should
leave a message.

Acceptable excuses for missing a lesson include sudden serious illness,
genuine emergency, and car breakdown. Unacceptable excuses include
scheduling difficulties, conflicting appointments or rehearsals, traffic delays,
and the like. Please plan accordingly. If you have been ill throughout the
week leading up to your lesson and are unsure as to whether or not you
should sing, please call me. Your vocal health is one of my top priorities.

Payment for Missed Lessons
Please note that without 24 hours notice, or a reasonable excuse within 24
hours, you are still responsible to pay for the lesson that you miss.

Make-up Lessons
If I need to cancel a lesson for any reason, I will offer you a chance to
reschedule. If you miss a lesson for any reason, I will do my best, but make-
up lessons are not guaranteed.

Stay Organized!
I recommend a three ring binder dedicated to your vocal repertoire,
exercises,and other materials. You will use it to keep your music organized
and to store your lesson and practice records and other handouts I may give
you. Students will be expected to buy their own music as needed.

Stay Healthy!
Whatever is good for your body and mind is also good for your voice and
singing. Stay healthy and physically active. Eat well, get enough rest, and try
to include a program of exercise and movement in your daily routine.

Practice Regularly
Your lessons are only one element of your total vocal program. Without
regular practice, you will not make progress. I will always try to be clear
about your realistic vocal goals and I will always explain how the exercises I
give you will help you reach them. It is your responsibility to practice and
make that happen. This is where the real improvement happens...

Try to practice at least:

10 to 14 years old – 20 to 30 minutes every day
15 and up - 45 to 60 minutes every day

My Commitment to You
I promise to work as hard as you do! If you attend your lessons consistently,
if you bring your sense of discipline (and your sense of humor) to the lessons,
and if you practice on a regular basis, we will do good work together, you will
improve, and I will do everything I can to help you with your vocal progress.
