Singing

Each lesson has a basic outline where we branch off based on each student’s needs.
Breath and Support-The foundation of singing. We will go through exercises to improve breath control and support.

Vocal Exercises-We work on pitch accuracy, vocal flexibility, style placement and specially tailored exercises to fit your needs.
Repertoire-Together we pick songs that fit your voice type and vocal style. Then we coach technique, song interpretation, acting and performance techniques to get you ready for your next time on stage.

Acting

Each lesson has a basic outline where we branch off based on each student’s needs.
Breath and Speech-Vocal production is the basis of stage acting. Actors must be heard and we work to improve breath control and support.
Body Work- Acting is not just from the chin up. Acting is through the whole body. Using yoga training, we find the actors connection with the body.
Monologues and Scenes- Together we pick monologues and scenes and coach technique, interpretation and presence.
Film- If the student is interested in film, we practice filming scenes on camera and working on sides.

LESSON POLICIES

1. ATTITUDE — Come to lessons prepared, on time, and open-minded. Performing is about vulnerability and stretching past comfort zones. Lessons are a safe place to try new things.

2. PROMPTNESS—If you are late, please let me know, and you should expect the lesson to end on time. I will try to accommodate you the best I can, but classes are often scheduled right next to each other. You will receive your full lesson time if the teacher is running late.

3. FEES—Lessons are paid per month before the first lesson of that month. Payment is accepted via Venmo (@beccajacksonstudio). Lessons will not take place without payment. Lessons are $100-1 hr, $75-45 min, and $50-30 min. On-camera work and professional recording equipment are also available for an additional $30. College application coaching presentations are $200 an hour.

4. LESSON SCHEDULING – Lesson scheduling is handled directly with me at the following e-mail
address: beccajacksonstudio@gmail.com

5. CANCELLATIONS — If a lesson is missed without a minimum of 24 hours’ notice, you will be expected to pay for that lesson before receiving any other lessons. Please notify me directly as early as possible if you will have to miss a lesson, and we can reschedule if more than 24 hours’ notice is given. In case of sudden illness of a student or parent, please let me know first thing in the morning before going to work or school, or you will be expected to pay for that day’s lesson. Please email beccajacksonstudio@gmail.com.

6. TEACHER CANCELLATIONS—If a teacher needs to cancel a lesson, it can either be made up within the month or rolled over to the next month's payment, depending on the student's preference.

7. MAKE-UP LESSONS—If you give 24 hours' notice and want to reschedule a lesson, you are responsible for contacting the teacher and getting a new lesson time for that week within the payment month.

8. FACETIME/SKYPE LESSONS—Frame yourself so that you can see from the tip of your head to your waist. If you have a microphone, please connect it to your computer before the lesson. Call at the start of your lesson time or send a link.

9. SNOW POLICY – If there is snow and you cannot come to your lesson or do not feel comfortable driving, the lesson will continue online at the same time. Lessons will not be canceled due to snow.

10. PROCEDURE — When you arrive at the studio for your lesson, please be respectful of the previous student. Enter quietly and wait for your turn.

11. MATERIALS—Come to lessons with a voice recorder and sheet music in a book or a three-ring binder or loaded onto an iPad. If using a karaoke track, send the file before the lesson or have the link ready.

12. SICK POLICY- Do not attend in-person lessons if you have any illness. Lessons will be online or rescheduled depending on the severity of the illness.
