Voice Student Payment and Scheduling Policies

To take voice lessons at the studio, you must be referred by someone to be offered a spot on the roster. If you don't have anyone to refer you, you must complete the Belting Coaching Program before being offered a spot for regular or drop-in lessons.

*Becoming a student at Tina's Vocal Studio means you will be held to high standards. To be recognized as a voice student here will be beneficial to you when directors call for referrals and recommendations.

​

Payment Policy 

Every voice student must pay upfront in full for all the weeks they are scheduled for. If payment is not received your lesson spot will be open for others to reserve and subject for removal from the roster.

 

Payment Options

Students can either pay for all the lessons on their own through the agreed payment methods (Paypal, Zelle, Venmo)

Or I will send a payment invoice if I don't see payment before your first scheduled lesson (Venmo or Square App) Payment must be sent and confirmed before the first lesson of the month.

​

Rate for Vocal Coaches

The rate for vocal coaches is set at that price because the curriculum to learn and teach belting is different from regular students. These lessons are geared towards helping coaches understand ways on how to teach others how to belt. The standards that are needed to teach belting must be held at a higher caliber so that anyone who learns from these coaches will get the most factual and science-based learning experience that is safe, healthy, and unique to each student.

​

Rate of Voice Lessons

The rate for voice lessons are subject to change depending on the demands of the schedule and the cost of maintaining the business. 

​

Scheduling Lessons

Students schedule their lessons by picking time slots provided to them through email. 

​

Referrals Only

You must be referred by someone who is currently taking lessons to be considered for voice lessons. If you don't know anyone who can refer you but you wish to take lessons, you must complete the Belting Coaching Program to develop a relationship and understanding of the studio's value before becoming a recurring student. Students who don't align with the values of this studio don't work well together.

​

Consultation Call New Students

If you are a new student, you will get a complimentary consultation call first before we start scheduling lessons. It's best to know what your personal singing goals are and offer different plans that will serve you the most so that you are happy with the results you will make. After our consultation call, I will decide to offer you a spot of the roster if we are a good fit for each other. That is when we can start scheduling lessons.

​

Becoming An Official Student

A one-time lesson with no intent to return will not constitute you as an active official student of the studio. Therefore, I am not your established vocal coach or vocal teacher that you can use on your resume until a written agreement is made between you and me, in which we will discuss fees, terms, and conditions. 

​

Voice Student Expectations

When you are learning at Tina's Vocal Studio, you are learning at a pace that is comfortable for you. Therefore, any vocal progress is determined by the student and how they choose to practice outside of lessons. It is not the responsibility of the vocal coach/teacher to force any progress to happen, but to simply provide the tools and materials needed to help a student with their vocal journey.

 

Rescheduling Policy

Students can reschedule their lesson time if needed with a preferred 24-hour notice, however, there are only so many spots available for each month and if there is absolutely no other time to offer you, you will lose that lesson if you cannot reschedule it within the month you paid for. 

​

Cancellation Policy

If you cancel a lesson, you will NOT get a refund. Students must provide a 24-hour notice as a courtesy or it will count as a no-show or no-call.  After 3 no-shows, and no-calls you will be removed from the active roster and cannot take a lesson at the studio.

 

Make-Up Lessons

Students can only complete the make-up lesson within the month they have paid for. It cannot roll over to the next month. An email will be sent out to those who need to do make-ups and then there will be time slots to choose from. If you choose to skip or cancel the makeup lesson, that will be your own choice to make with no expectation of a refund or a discount for the next month. Spots are limited and it is first-come first-serve when looking to schedule the make-up lesson. Students still need to give 24-hour notice to let me know they will be missing a lesson otherwise it will count as a canceled no-show, no-call. (Three no-show, no-call will result in removal from the studio)​

​

  • Can only do the make-up lessons online through Zoom

  • Can only do the make-up lesson within the month you have paid for

  • If you cannot make up your lesson, you will lose that lesson with no refund. 

​

No-Show, No Call

Three No-Show, No-Call cancellations will result in the removal of your weekly recurring spot, and the student will no longer be able to take private lessons.

​

Advance Notice to Miss One Week

As a courtesy, students are allowed to omit one lesson out of the month if they absolutely need to go to a family event or other personal obligations. However, in order to make sure you can take out the one lesson but still keep your recurring weekly status, you still need to pay for the full amount. Therefore, if you have already paid for the month of lessons, but you need to miss one of the lessons, you will need to make up the lesson or lose a lesson with no refund.

 

Stay Active Until You Need A Break

Once you take a break, your spot will be given to the next person in line on the waitlist and you will need to apply to the waitlist to return to weekly lessons. After 3 months of no lessons, your information will be put under "inactive." All services that usually come along with your lessons like audition notices, director referrals, letters of recommendation for colleges, audio warm-up tracks, editing assistance, self-tape feedback, and more will be terminated.

 

If You Need to Return to Weekly Voice Lessons

If you ever need to return to voice lessons, you will need to go on the waitlist to get the weekly recurring rate and wait until a spot opens up. Your old spot might not be available anymore and I only have a certain amount of time slots set aside for weekly recurring voice students. â€‹

 

Holidays and Closures

If your lessons start around a holiday like a winter break at the end of the year, you will be prorated for only the weeks you need to pay for. Students are still required to pay upfront for the rest of their lessons at the beginning of the month but do not need to pay for the weeks that the studio is closed.

​

Recorded Lessons

All lessons will be recorded. Students will receive a copy of their video. By applying to become a student you are agreeing to allow the studio to use any clips of the recording as advertisement for the business.

​

RECAP

  • Students must pay in full for all weekly scheduled lessons. 

  • Lessons are not confirmed until payment is received.

  • If you need to reschedule, ask for availability as soon as possible.

  • If you cannot schedule your make up lesson, you will lose that lesson with no refund.

  • If you need to make up your lesson, it needs to be scheduled within the month you paid for.

  • Students will not receive a refund if a lesson is canceled. 

  • 3 No-Show, No-Call will result in removal from the studio.

  • If a student takes a break, the rate that they started with may be different by the time they return to lessons.
