In Person Coaching: NYC

Fees

Payment must be received immediately when you arrange your coaching to confirm your time. 

• $70 per hour
• $60 per hour for 2 or more sessions

Changes possible based on availability, no refunds.

• Once you confirm with me you will pay for all the arranged coachings in advance.
• I accept payments via VENMO or ZELLE

You must arrange to have a collaborative pianist with you at your own expense for each coaching. We will not work with recorded accompaniment or a capella in these sessions. I will suggest some pianists to you if you have difficulty finding one.

It is your responsibility to arrange and pay for the studio space in your name and your pianist separately.  See the SCHEDULING DROP DOWN Menu for more information.

Preparation

• Please bring 2 copies of the music: one for the pianist and one for me. Please do not bring me your bound score, an ipad, or a copy with lots of notes written on it, but a clean copy on paper. I prefer my copy to be single sided “loose pages” and not taped together as you would for an accompanist.
• If your piece is not in French or English, I will need a legibly written word-for-word translation in English 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. 
• Your aria must be memorized “off book.”
• PLEASE NOTE: We will work on Audition Material such as an Aria from and Opera or Song from a Musical. We will not work on Art Song or Lieder unless agreed in advance. Singers who wish to work on The Doll Song from HOFFMAN, Glitter and Be Gay from CANDIDE, Mein Herr Marquis from DIE FLEDERMAUS, or “scenas” like Ophelia’s Mad Scene from HAMLET, Max’s Aria from DER FREISCHUTZ, Non monsiuer mon mari from LES MAMMELLES de TIRESIAS, or Zerbinetta’s Aria from ARIADNE please let me know in advance as they require special considerations and will require a longer period of time or number of sessions

Cancellation Policy

• I need 72 hours advance notice to move a coaching time at no cost to you based on available coaching times.
• There are no refunds: You may arrange to have someone come in your place if you let me know in advance.

Use the SIGN UP BUTTON below to arrange your session by indicating the date and time.
Once I have confirmed your session, you can arrange the studio space.

The Coachings take place at NEW YORK SPACES–Ripley-Grier Studios located on 8th Ave and 37th St, 16th-17th floors.
