The Vocal Practice Studio Membership
Creative collaboration, with you
and your voice at the heart of it.
The Vocal Practice Studio Membership is the deepest way to work together — an ongoing coaching relationship designed for singers who want consistent, individualized support for both vocal technique and artistic development.
Rather than isolated sessions, the Membership provides real continuity and direct access to me between sessions. Technical vocal work, artistic growth, performance preparation, projects, and studio recordings evolve simultaneously over time in a way that Drop-Ins simply can’t replicate.
Option twoWhat’s Included
Everything in the core program offerings listed above, plus expanded support designed to help your progress continue between sessions:
Ongoing asynchronous support between sessions via Voxer
Intensive artist development that goes beyond technique
Your guaranteed weekly time slot
Flexible attendance
Archive of your studio notes
Custom materials and resources, including lead sheets and arrangements
Career support including recording preparation and performance planning
Check-ins on performance days
Tour preparation and on call tour support
How the Commitment Works
A three-month initial commitment allows for meaningful progress. After that, the Membership continues month-to-month. You can cancel anytime, with access through the end of your billing period.
Who It’s For
The Membership is designed for early and mid-career contemporary artists who want consistent training, ongoing support, and a mentor who’s invested in them and their growth over time.

The Membership is limited to 12 clients at a time to maintain a high level of attention and between-session support. So if there is an available slot and it’s the right thing for you at the right time, heck yes!
