Ready to start?

  • I offer two different times (30 mins and 60 mins).

  • Booking two 30 minute lessons per week (with a day or days off in between) is a recommended option for singers wanting to progress quickly. 60 minute lessons will be a mix of vocal exercises and working on a song.

  • You can add multiple lessons when booking and you can choose whatever available time and day works for you.

  • You can book a recurring spot each week if you know a specific time works best for your schedule.

  • The available times you see will be in your local time zone.

  • All lessons are through Zoom and you will receive the link once you have booked.

  • Cancellations or reschedules must happens with 24 hours.

Common questions

  • They work great with video technology like Zoom. You can make all colourful sounds that come with vocal training in the privacy of your own home. As long as you have good internet access and a camera/microphone on your computer or phone then you are all set.

  • I honestly preferred online lessons myself as a student. I liked that I could fit it easily into my schedule without having to drive anywhere and I always felt safe to make weird new sounds or just try things at home with my teacher. Even though I prefer taking and teaching online lessons, I still want students to get out there and sing with other people, play gigs, start bands, try new songs at karaoke and have fun singing.

  • Can everyone be a professional artist singing at the highest level? Obviously no. Can everyone learn and discover something within themselves from taking vocal lessons. Yes, and it can be fun to see where it goes once you start. Maybe you’ll start writing songs, or try singing different genres of music. Maybe you’ll join a band or feel good singing with friends around a camp fire. Maybe you’ll never sing in public or go on tour but maybe it will be fun to just explore and learn.

  • Being nervous while trying something completely new is as normal as normal gets. Try find a space you feel comfortable in where you can make noise. Please don’t worry at all where you are at with your singing and it’s okay if you’ve never even tried singing in your life. The biggest thing is just showing up. We will take things step by step and you can ask as many questions as you want a long the way.

  • My training is in more in contemporary styles and mostly working on discovering your chest, head and mix registers.

    I grew up loving and singing pop, rock, folk, country, punk, emo, indie, singer/songwriter and all the many flavours within those genres.

  • Once I have an idea of your goals and where you are at. We get right to going to work on doing different vocal exercises to start building connection in your different registers. Some of the exercises sound a bit wild but are highly effective in building your voice. Once we have built more connection we can work on different styles and songs. All you have to do is show up.

  • There is a standard 24 hour policy cancellation policy. If you are unable to attend please reschedule or email info@independentvocalstudio.com.

    All sales are final but you can easily reschedule before the 24 hour cancellation policy.
