You must arrange to have an accompanist with you for each coaching. We will not work with recorded accompaniment or a capella in these sessions. I will suggest some coach/accompanists 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 accompanist separatelySee the SCHEDULING DROP DOWN Menu for more information.

Preparation

  • Please bring 2 copies of the music: one for the accompanist 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.”

Cancellation Policy

  • I need 72 hours advance notice to cancel or move a coaching time at no cost to you based on available coaching times.
  • There are no refunds after October 4, 2025.
  • There are no refunds for Evening and Weekend coachings or for 3-Session Packages: once confirmed, you must pay for these times.

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.

  • You can find them on the web at http://www.ripleygrier.com/ or by calling (212) 799-5433.
  • You will rent the studio time in advance, and tell them you want a studio no smaller than 16-I.
  • The following studios are too small for this work, so please do not use 16-A, B, C, R, S, V, W or X ; 17-G, J, K, or L; 10-B. You may find a map of the studios on their website.

What Industry Professionals Say
About Coaching Arias with Chuck

I am in total admiration of what you’ve accomplished with another of my pupils…She sent me a video that she made last week and the presentation was miles better than anything I’ve seen her do to date, thanks to you.”

"Both Manase (tenor) and Samson (bass/baritone) got into the Young Artist Programme at the Met. You can claim a good chunk of the credit for that...So many of the young singers who are doing so well were helped massively by you."

"Bravo and thank you for the terrific work you did with Johanna Will (District Winner of Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions). She just sang through her pieces for the MET council audition, and your superb coaching is evident. She’s never been more expressive, clear and confident in her presentation. She DID understand your approach, and I’m thrilled and convinced that this helped with her success today."
