Frequently Asked Questions

Who do you work with?

I work with singers who want to feel at home in their voice, whether they sing for personal fulfilment, auditions, or live performance. My approach blends technical precision with somatic awareness so singing feels grounded, expressive, and reliable.

Who are the lessons for?

Adult singers who want confidence and vocal ease
Serious hobbyists committed to real progress
Singers preparing for auditions, gigs, or performances
Students who value authenticity over imitation
Motivated youth who genuinely want to sing and are willing to practice

You do not need to be a professional.
You do need to be engaged, curious, and willing to do the work.

Who are the lessons not for?

Singers looking for quick fixes or passive lessons
Singers who only want to copy a specific artist or genre
Children enrolled without personal motivation
Anyone unwilling to engage the body as part of vocal training
This clarity ensures that singers who work with me actually thrive

How is this different?

Most vocal training focuses on sound production alone.
My work integrates voice, body, breath, and nervous system.

This allows singers to:

Release tension instead of pushing through it
Build consistency without strain
Access emotional honesty without losing technique
Develop a voice that sounds like them

This is not a one-size-fits-all method.
Each lesson is tailored to your voice, body, goals and nervous system - not a preset method.

What lesson formats do you have?

Online voice lessons (fully embodied, highly effective)
In-person lessons (for local singers)
Adults & Youth (by readiness, not age alone)

What is Tuition and how does it work?

Annual Tuition Membership

By enrolling in the Annual Tuition Membership, you commit to a 12-month contract that secures a weekly lesson time that are scheduled on the Tuition Calendar and guarantees 38 lessons per year. This flexible plan ensures consistent, regular singing lessons, making it ideal for singers who want manageable tuition payments and reliable scheduling year-round.

The membership operates on a monthly payment plan, with equal payments made on the 1st of each month. This allows you to spread the cost evenly over 12 months, regardless of whether a month has 4 or 5 weeks. Payments remain the same, offering predictable budgeting. If you decide to stop tuition at any given time, I will need a 30 days' written notice so that we can make sure you can attend all your scheduled lessons for that month before stopping your membership.

This rolling membership gives you the flexibility to register at any time during the year—there's no need to wait for the start of a new term or school year.

Key Benefits:

Monthly Payments: Pay the same amount each month for easy budgeting.
Flexible Enrollment: Start lessons at any point during the year, without waiting for a traditional school year to begin.
Rolling 12-Month Commitment: Payments continue for 12 months, with automatic renewal each year.
Ongoing Access: Uninterrupted access to lessons throughout the year.

In addition to scheduled weekly lessons, students will also have access to two exclusive Open Studio Days—workshops and performance opportunities scheduled for the last Saturday in June and the first Saturday in December. These can also be used as make-up sessions for any missed lessons.

If you enrol later in the year, your membership will start on the day you enrol and roll over unless you cancel them. Please refer to our Policies for further information.

What does a typical lesson look like?

Beginners:

We establish vocal goals and build a healthy foundation through posture, breath, basic voice function, register exploration, and song selection that suits the singer’s unique voice. You can ask all the questions you might have.

Intermediate:

Lessons build on the fundamentals with more focused training, including strength and stamina, register balance, resonance, range expansion, and repertoire development. Audition or exam preparation may be included.

Advanced: (serious hobbyist, performer)

Sessions are goal-driven and tailored to performance needs, such as auditions, gigs, or recording. We focus on vocal health, stamina, advanced warm-ups, expressive range, and uncovering new vocal textures

Establishing singer's vocal goals, warm-up and foundation in vocal function: voice physiology, how the voice works, posture, breathing and exploring registers, music styles, and songs, finding the songs for singers unique voice type, and then working with the singer's songs of choice.

Each lesson is flexible enough to give you what you really need at each particular stage of your training to ensure you get the most from each lesson at The Vocal Lab.

What to bring to my lesson?

Bring your own water bottle or hot drink, one song (or more) that you like to sing or would like to learn how to sing. If you don’t have it, don’t worry, we can find most songs online. If you have no idea what you like, I can help you find the song that suits your voice - and you.

What do you provide?
I provide all the tools (microphone, amp, songs with lyrics on screen, pen and paper and some recorded vocal warm ups, etc..) you might need during your lesson in a warm and friendly environment to build and maintain a healthy singing voice! If you want to work on microphone technique, you are welcome to bring your own microphone.
