Studio Pricing:

The Studio Year is September 3rd*, 2018-June 3, 2019 with makeup lessons continuing through June 15th. Weeks off include Thanksgiving week (except Monday lessons), Winter Break December 24-Jan 4, and Spring Break March 25-29. Thirty-five (35) lessons and classes are included during this time. Make-ups will generally be on Saturday but can be fit into the week per mutual convenience.

Lots of performing is part of what makes Animaté different from other studios. These opportunities are offered to give students something to work toward, however, participation is optional! It is generally assumed that singers will participate in studio recitals and events. Often, students are collaborating with other students on pieces, so if you cannot participate in any of the above activities, please let me know ASAP, so we can adjust.

The studio is changing to a 10-month tuition system: September-June. Included in this time are 35 lessons, rehearsals, and masterclasses for private students 35 classes and rehearsals for class students. Recitals and concerts are billed separately because not all students can participate in each event. During the summer months, and for adults the lessons are paid on a per lesson basis. Due at the time of service. Regular adult students can take advantage of the monthly option during the school year, too. Make-up lessons available for missed lessons with a 12-hour notice.

​Library Fee: $20/year-Because it is so much easier for me to get the appropriate music for your singer, (arrangement, key, etc) I will buy this. Applies to all students.

I do understand that schedules are fluid and some weeks are just difficult, not to mention a rapid-onset illness or need to be away. I am happy to make up lessons with a 12-hour notice. Here are the scheduled make-up days for those missing lessons due to Holidays or other eligible missed lessons.

Masterclass is offered to all private students and is included in the monthly fee. During a Masterclass, multiple students come together to sing for each other, accompanied by a professional accompanist and get live feedback from me. The opportunity to perform in front of a sympathetic, but small audience helps build confidence. In addition, the experience of listening to others “critically” allows the singer to become more tuned to how slight adjustments can affect big changes in either performance or production. Masterclass also aides in increasing community in the studio. We all like and care about each other!

For Adult Students and Summer Masterclasses-$15 each.

Sunday at my house in Hillsboro 2pm-Class and Potluck November 18th, February 17th, March 10th, April 7th Masterclass etiquette:

lease keep cell phones put away. Listen. Plan to stay for the full class (2 hours) if you can. Each class has something new to teach you, too. If you must go early, plan to stay a full hour, so you can support the other singers. In general, Masterclass is not a rehearsal. It may have that added benefit but is not its primary purpose .
