What ages does VOICES Teach?
VOICES teaches students of
all ages. We generally accept children starting
at 5 years of age, but have taught younger children based on their
mature attention
span and desire to learn. We have many adult students as well. It
is never too late to learn!
Should students start in
group classes or in private lessons?
The choice between private
lessons and group classes depends on the student’s goals.
If the student wishes to grow and improve as an individual
performer, then private lessons
are probably better suited to their needs. If being involved in a
fun group, while having
the opportunity to sing and perform is more important, then group
classes might be the
right choice. Many students do both!
What are the qualifications of your
teachers?
All of our voice teachers
are certified or pre-certified with Speech Level Singing,
and maintain that certification on an on-going basis. Most have
vast performance
experience as well as many years teaching experience.
Our guitar and piano teachers have between 10 and 20 years of
experience with
their instruments, and some have been teaching for almost 20 years
as well! Most
of them continue to work on music projects outside of voices, and
all of them are
able to teach classical as well as popular music.
What level of teacher should my
student study with?
Depending on their level of
experience, students will be assessed, and placed with
a teacher of an appropriate level. We generally pair students with
more experience
with teachers of higher experience as well.
What is SLS? Why is it “better” than
other methods?
Speech Level Singing is a
revolutionary vocal training technique that allows you
to sing in one clear, connected voice through your entire potential
vocal range without
yelling, flipping or any other negative artifacts. To learn more
about SLS, visit www.speechlevelsinging.com
What kinds of performance
opportunities do you offer?
We hold monthly Open Mic Nights,
giving any of our students the opportunity to
perform in front of an audience. VOICES also puts on two showcase
performances
per year, one in December and the other in May. In addition to
these opportunities,
VOICES is often invited to perform at events around the Valley.
Private students and
group classes have the opportunity to participate in these events.
Why do you start with a trial lesson
first?
Having a trial lesson before actually
registering helps ensure that students know
exactly what they will be experiencing during their time at VOICES.
This way, students
will have an opportunity to decide whether or not they wish to
continue with registration,
try a different class, or try different teachers.
How much do you charge?
Our Pricing is available here
http://voicesstudio.com/voices_cl_sched.htm
How many lessons do I have to do?
When you register for lessons, you are
registering for that time slot on a weekly basis
through the end of the session (end of May).
Do you sell packages of lessons?
We do not sell packages of lessons,
but if you would like to purchase a trial lesson
for someone else, we do offer gift certificates.
What happens when I miss a lesson?
If you give us at least 24 hours
notice, we can schedule a make-up lesson for up
to two of your lessons per session. If we do not receive 24 hours
notice, or you have
already used your make-up lessons, we are unable to schedule a
make-up.
What if after starting I decide to
quit?
If you decide that you would no longer
like to continue your lessons, you would notify
our front desk staff and complete a withdrawal form. We require 30
days notice to
discontinue lessons.
