Hello Rockstar!
So you've booked your drop-in session. Woo!! SO stoked!
A few things you'll need to know before we dive in:
All lesson slots are 60 minutes long with 45-50 minutes of singing and 10-15 minutes of admin time dedicated to you. Traditional lesson time spent consists of:
-
45-50 minutes of repertoire/exercise work.
-
If you've booked specifically to work on rep, be sure to come warmed up so we can dive right in!
-
-
10-15 minutes post singing of my private admin time (emailing sheet music, sending accompaniment tracks, note-taking, mental transition between students, etc.).
-
If you're not here for a traditional voice lesson, the time can abso-freaking-lutely be spent working through pedagogical questions in what ever way that helps to clarify your teaching.
ONLINE:
For remote lessons we will use my zoom room. My zoom room ID will forever and always be:
https://us02web.zoom.us/j/7385253300
You can also always dial in those last digits - 738 525 3300
You'll join this Zoom link at the time of your lesson and be put into a virtual waiting room until I'm ready for you.When you arrive we'll chat and get a feel for what your goals are and then dive right in!
How It Works
Warmups/vocalize will be guided through demonstration, one chord, and your starting pitch for each line. Due to latency, the majority of this work will be a cappella (don't worry, I'll always play your starting pitch).
All repertoire work will be sung with accompaniment connected to a Bluetooth speaker on your end from services like Youtube, Appcompanist, PianoTrax, or a personal recording from an accompanist.
So what do you need to set you up for success with online lessons? Here is my list of "required" tools. ;)
REQUIRED
-
A strong internet connection.
-
Two devices - One to Zoom on (usually a computer or tablet placed just above eye level) and one to play accompaniment tracks from (usually phone or tablet).
-
A track to your piece (YouTube, appcompanist, pianotrax, or any accompaniment of your choice)
Be sure to have original sound enabled for our session.
CONFLICT/RESCHEDULE POLICY:
There are no refunds for 1-on-1 coachings. Should you need to cancel, you can rebook your session for a new fee. Sound strict? Maybe. Motivate us all to show the heck up? Absolutely!
That's it! Come with a clear idea of your goals for the four lessons; challenges you've been dealing with, a concept you want to clear up, rep you want to work/clean. I'll walk you through the rest. Can't wait to see you!
Let's get singing. :)
