First Lesson Information
Most people come for their first lesson feeling a little (or a lot!) nervous. This is natural and I will try my best to put you at your ease. It is our first opportunity to become acquainted so I will start off by asking you some questions about your musical background – but don’t worry if you haven’t any experience what so ever! We will cover some vocal warm-up exercises and talk about one key element of the singers armoury. Towards the end of your first lesson I will want to hear you sing a verse and a chorus of a couple of songs. It helps if you have prepared for this in advance. Please come along with 2 songs in mind (by different artists) that you are familiar with. Please bring the lyrics with you (printed out from the internet) and if possible, a copy of the track on CD or on your MP3 player. I am not expecting a polished performance, but it will be a very useful guide of you current level of ability in all aspects of voice and performance.
I always provide water at every lesson so you needn’t bring any unless you prefer the bottled variety!
Timing & Cancellations
I don’t have a waiting room so ideally arrive as close to the time of the lesson as possible. I have a busy schedule so I’m afraid if you are late I won’t be able to run over.
If you are unable to make a lesson, please cancel with as much advance notice as possible. I often have people trying to find a spare slot so I can often offer the lesson to someone else. Lessons cancelled less than 24 hours in advance are charged at the full rate.
