Delivery of Lessons:

  • All lessons will be in-person starting September 2023. Online lessons will continue to happen during inclement weather, illness, or if the singer needs to be online for any reason.
  • All mask mandates are removed, excepting those that wish either myself, or both myself and the singer to wear one during the lesson.
  • There will continue to be no waiting area inside the house, students will enter through the front door when opened.
  • Students feeling any amount of sickness (sore throat/cough/runny nose/fever/chills/nausea etc.) must move their lesson online.

Cancellation Policy:

  • Due to the size of the studio and resulting scheduling limitations, make-up times for lessons cancelled for any reason will not be offered.  Exceptions will be made only when Michelyn cancels lessons for personal reasons. Inclement weather is no longer an issue as lessons can be held online.
  • Parents and students must fill out and sign a policies and information form prior to the beginning of the 23/24 year.

Other Policies:

  • To ensure that appropriate preparation is possible, if a student is working towards an RCM Gr. 6/7/8 exam, a 45 or 60 minute lesson is necessary. Similarly, if a student is working towards an RCM Gr. 9/ 10 exam, a 60 minute lesson is highly suggested.

Scheduling:

  • The weekly lesson schedule is completed on a first come first served basis prior to the start of each school year.
  • Regularly Scheduled Lessons  begin September 9, 2023 based on available space
