Before you book

A few helpful answers.

Can I try one lesson before buying a package?

Yes. Book one 30-minute lesson for $40 or one 60-minute lesson for $80. SimplyBook.me will ask you to select an appointment time as part of booking. You can decide about a package later.

Who are lessons for?

Teens ages 12 and up and adults, including singers preparing for auditions, college programs, or performances, and those looking to develop their craft. Younger students may be considered by audition. Emma focuses on musical theatre, classical, and folk, and also teaches pop.

What happens in my first lesson?

You’ll discuss your goals, check in with posture and breathing, and work through warmups tailored to your voice. You’ll also work on repertoire and leave with specific feedback for your practice. Bring a song you’re interested in, if you have one.

How do online lessons work?

Lessons are individual sessions online. Emma prefers FaceTime and also uses Zoom. Have a reliable internet connection, a device with a camera and microphone, water, and a quiet space where you can sing comfortably. Confirm your preferred platform with Emma.

Can I reserve the same time each week?

Yes, recurring weekly appointments are the studio’s usual rhythm, subject to availability. Appointment times are shown in the booking calendar; Emma’s schedule is based on Eastern Time. If you need a particular weekly slot, ask Emma before purchasing a package.

What if I need to miss or reschedule a lesson?

Contact Emma as soon as you know you cannot attend. Your appointment reserves time in her schedule; makeup opportunities depend on availability, and missing a lesson does not automatically entitle you to a refund. Confirm rescheduling arrangements directly with Emma.

How do packages and payments work?

Choose four or twelve lessons in your preferred length and pay for the package upfront. These are lesson credits, not a monthly subscription. Use the lessons within six months of purchase, except where applicable law requires otherwise. Package purchases are non-refundable except where required by law.

What if Emma needs to cancel?

Emma will work with you to arrange a makeup lesson. If she cannot provide the agreed lesson and a makeup is not held, you will receive a refund for that lesson.
