VOICE STUDENTS:

We recommend virtual voice students purchase an external, play-n-plug condenser microphone to ensure the highest level of audio transmission. When an instructor hears a student better, they can teach better! Please be aware a mircophone is not required - just recommended :)

All private lessons are $80.00 per hour or $45.00 per half hour. Voice lessons are 50 minutes and mimic a "college hour". A minimum of 10 lessons must be scheduled unless approved by the office or instructor.
