VOICE LESSONS
FEES: TO SCHEDULE A LESSON:
$75 - 60 minute lesson Email: www.bvsoprano@gmail.com
Call/Text: 301-520-5539
$60 - 45 minute lesson
$50 - 30 minute lesson
*If a student wishes the teacher to teach them at their home, an extra $15 fee will be added to the lesson fee for travel expenses. The teacher reserves the right to decline at-home teaching depending on the area and length of travel.
Lessons are given on a weekly basis. I find that true progress cannot be made unless a student is willing to commit to weekly instruction with their teacher, and daily practice at home in between lessons. I STRONGLY encourage students to commit to at least 1 school semester, or roughly 15 weeks of lessons for any notable progress to be made. There will be one recital in the Spring for those who start lessons in the beginning of the year, and one recital in the late Fall for those who started lessons during the summer.
STUDIO POLICIES:
-Students are expected to be punctual and ready for lessons with all materials in a 3-ring binder.
-Payment is due at the beginning of each month for that month's lessons, or at the time the student starts. So in a given month there will be at least 4 lessons and those lessons must be paid for at the beginning of the month. You may pay by check: made out to Karla Rivera, cashapp ($karlanoel), Venmo (@KarlaRivera78), or Paypal (karlar00@hotmail.com).
-In case of illness, it is the student's responsibility to notify the instructor at least 24 hours in advance by phone call, text, or email. If notice is given under that amount of time or no contact is made, payment will not be refunded. In either case, a make-up lesson will be scheduled.
-Any music or materials purchased by the teacher for the student, must be refunded to the teacher.
-Any student that wishes to learn how to read music, if they do not know how, is encouraged to ask the instructor to help them learn. Theory materials will be provided by the teacher and refunded by the student and time will be taken in the lesson for Theory instruction. If this is the case, a 1 hour lesson is STRONGLY recommended.
STUDIO HOURS:
Lessons are available for all those in the MD, DC, VA area. Virtual lessons will be available later in the year.
Sunday: 2-8 pm
