Before your lesson
How to prepare
- 01
What to expect
Top of the line professional coaching. We work with celebrated artists and complete beginners alike, and everyone gets the same premier service — expect noticeable progress in every session.
- 02
Your first session
We'll have you sing, then ask plenty of questions so we can build the right plan for your goals. If there is something specific you want to work on, say so. If you're not sure yet, we'll point you in the right direction.
- 03
Choose two or three songs
Pick covers you'd like to learn that suit your natural range. Make sure each one has both a lyric track and a karaoke track on YouTube. Don't worry if they aren't polished — we usually only run the first verse and chorus.
- 04
Bring water
Room-temperature water keeps your vocal cords hydrated through the session.
- 05
Who can attend
Students under 18 may bring one guardian. Otherwise sessions are closed — no friends, siblings or entourage.
