My coachings take place at NEW YORK SPACES-Ripley-Grier Studios located on 8th Ave and 37th ST, 16th floor. You can find them on the web at www.newyorkspaces.com or by calling (212) 799-5433. You
will rent the studio time in advance, and you want a studio no smaller than
16-I (please do not use 16-A as it is too small for this
work). Please allow about 1 hour for each aria you want to work. Some arias with lengthier recits take about 90 minutes.
I charge $55 per hour for the coaching itself (it is your responsibility to arrange the studio space and the accompanist separately). Once you confirm the studio space with me, you will pay for all the arranged coachings on the first day we work. If you arrange and pay in advance for 6 sessions or more, I can offer a 10% discount and allow you to pay in two installments: the first on the first day and then the remainder half-way through the process. I need 48 hours to cancel or move a coaching time, as it will take me that long to replace the hour with another singer. You may cancel or re-arrange times after that, but it will not affect any fees paid or owing.
You must arrange to have an accompanist with you for each coaching. I
will suggest some coach/accompanists to you if you have difficulty finding one.
Please bring 2 copies of the music: one for the accompanist and one for me. If your piece is not in French or English, I will need a word-for-word translation written on the line of music: not a translation on another page, and not the existing English translation of the piece which is not word specific.
To arrange for a Private Coaching or a series of coachings, contact Chuck Hudson at Levendrier@gmail.com.
