Voice Lesson Policies

Effective June 1 through September 23, 2024

Lessons will be available this summer only from July 19 through August 16 on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, from 11am to 6pm. All lessons will take place at my home studio. Remote lessons will be available ONLY on Mondays. If you desire a remote lesson, confirm this by email or text at the time of scheduling. After a remote lesson has been scheduled and confirmed, just prior to your scheduled time (normally the evening prior), you will receive an email invitation to join a Zoom meeting. You should download the latest version of Zoom on your device (computers work better than mobile devices). Each lesson must be scheduled through the program link below. Lesson times open for scheduling at the beginning of each hour, exactly one calendar month in advance. So if you want to schedule a lesson on Friday, July 19 at 12pm, that time will open for scheduling at exactly 12pm on June 19 (Wednesday). The 1 pm time on July 19 will open at 1 pm on June 25, the 2pm time at 2pm on June 25, etc. I have several students vying for my time so the appointment times are normally taken quickly. Often each time is booked within the first minute it opens. Therefore, it is not unusual for the program to show no available times. However, you are welcome to keep checking the program for cancellations. Me regular university schedule will resume on September 24, 2024 (Times offered: Mondays 2-6, Tuesdays at 5, Wednesdays at 5, and Fridays from 11am to 5pm.)

1. FEES -- $125 (USD) per lesson paid in advance using Zelle (steve@wstephensmith.com) or Venmo (@WStephen-Smith). For international students, use PayPal ($131.20 USD).

2. LESSON SCHEDULING -- Click on the link below to schedule a lesson.

You must first enroll at the above web address before scheduling lessons. Make sure your information is current. You are normally allowed no more than five appointments on the schedule at a time. A lesson time is secured only after you receive a notice of confirmation.

3. CANCELLATIONS -- If a lesson is missed without a minimum of 48 hours’ notice, you will be expected to pay for that lesson before receiving any other lessons. Please notify me as early as possible if you will have to miss a lesson.
