Student-led Sign-Ups & In-School Lessons
Introducing a new way to book voice lessons: with student-led sign-ups and in-school lessons! This model allows students to take charge of their musical education by selecting lessons based on their individual schedules. They can now sign up for voice lessons during any free periods or available time slots in their school day. This flexible approach ensures that students can pursue their passion for music without disrupting their academic commitments, creating a more convenient learning experience with less stress!
N.B. - Mrs. Stewart's schedule is dynamic, and new available times (especially some after school times) are regularly added to the calendar. If you don't find what you're looking for, be sure to check back later!
No Commitment
Students are no longer required to commit to an entire semester of lessons upfront. This flexible model allows them to sign up for lessons as they go, giving them the freedom to explore their interest in voice without feeling locked into long-term commitments, especially around busy extracurricular schedules (e.g. sports practice/games; play practice, etc.)
Whether students want consistent lessons or just a one-off lesson before an important audition, this option ensures they have the freedom to learn at their own pace, on their terms.
Safe, Supportive Space for Growth
In my voice studio, I believe in creating a welcoming, judgment-free environment where everyone feels comfortable to explore their musical potential. Whether you're just starting out or fine-tuning your skills, my space fosters camaraderie and collegiality among students of all levels. There's no pressure, just a supportive community where growth happens at your own pace. Throughout the year, I bring students together with fun social events like studio classes, where we enjoy community-building activities like cookie decorating alongside our singing, and mid-year and end-of-year recitals, providing opportunities to connect, share, and celebrate progress. Studying voice is not just about lessons; it's about building confidence and developing a lasting love for music in a place where you truly belong.
