Your voice is as unique as your fingerprint. Protect your voice.

Voice lessons are good for the soul and encourage self-expression, discipline, and personal awareness. It is of vital importance that one finds and appreciates his or her own style and uniqueness, for every person is precious.

I offer voice lessons that focus on the development, retraining and rehabilitation of your singing and/or speaking voice. I include the following genres: popular, classical, opera, jazz and Musical Theater (legit and mixed belt) and pop styles.

I am open to students of all ages and technical levels. Whether your goals are preparation for a possible career in music, or simply personal enrichment, learning to sing with ease and agility is a multi-faceted activity that develops your instrument.

LESSON SPECIFICS

* Cancellations: 24 hours in advance of lessons

* Payment for lessons should be made at the first lesson of each month. Accepted methods of payments are checks and cash. Credit cards are not accepted.

* Lessons are to begin and end at designated times. Students who are late cannot expect to have anymore than the remaining time for their lesson. Therefore, it is a good idea to arrive five minutes early.

* A 55-minute lesson is reserved for each student and regular attendance is very important. Make-up lessons are only available should the instructor need to cancel, or if the Jeanette receives 24 hours notice for illness or emergency. Make-up lessons are given during the week when time is available. (If a lesson is not cancelled with 24 hours notice, the student will be charged for the lesson.)

* Should you move away or discontinue lessons, a 2-week notification would be appreciated.

* Communication should be handled in person, in writing, or with a phone call. Please do not cancel a lesson via email.

* The studio is closed on Thanksgiving and Christmas Day

* An evaluation lesson determines the student’s voice type (soprano, alto, tenor, bass), and professional suggestions are given for the individual student’s continued vocal development.

* All students are initially trained in the Bel Canto technique.

* Lessons are recorded to allow for immediate feedback and review.

* Students also receive practice tapes of vocal exercises (from beginning to advanced), as well as written text which covers fundamental voice concepts and techniques.

* Recitals are not mandatory but highly encouraged. There is a minimum of a two concerts per year. Individual private recitals can be arranged as well. Also, additional lessons in preparation for auditions, recitals, or competitions may be scheduled separately with the instructor.

* A Certificate of Merit Program is available to all students over ten years of age through high school. High school credit is also available for students enrolled in public schools. Up to five units can be rewarded per semester. Additional information is available through the Music Teachers Association.
