Frequently Asked Questions
How long are the lessons and how frequent?
I prefer to work with lessons of one hour duration. Any shorter and there is no time to get going. Any longer and we both get exhausted. A good frequency is once per week, especially for the first few lessons. Sometimes twice per week is good if working for an audition or an important performance, but because of time and expense many pupils come once per fortnight.
How much are the lessons?
Please contact me by phone or email for my current rates. My charges are at the lower end of the scale.
What if I turn out not to be able to sing/ or have a very poor voice?
It hasn't happened yet in my experience. Most people are very pleasantly surprised at how they progress.
How many lessons must I sign up for?
I work one lesson at a time. When one is finished we can book the next if you wish.
Do I need to be able to read music?
Not as a beginner. However I do encourage you gradually to acquire music skills and knowledge of theory.
