“Confident Voice Studio gets 10 out of 10. My child loves you and has grown so much as a person and as a performer.”
“This morning my child started telling me a bunch of addition like 4+3 is 7, 2+3 is 5, and a number of combinations she worked out. When I asked her how she figured all this out all of the sudden she said music class!
It’s like the math light went on in her head. Really neat. Thank you. “
“I love seeing how happy he is after every class with you!”
You’ve Got Questions. We’ve Got Answers.
Q: Do I need to be a naturally talented singer?
No. It’s a common myth that you have to have a natural talent to sing well. You don’t. You’d be amazed how well your voice can sound after training and practice.
Q: Do you offer virtual or in-person classes?
A: Both! However, due to the current atmosphere around social gatherings, our classes and lessons are virtual, for now.
Q: Can my child join a class even if they have no experience?
A: Yes! Our kids’ classes are designed to build individual confidence while they work to make music together. At the beginning (preschool), this is just making noise, and grasping the basics. The beginner classes are a lot of fun.
Q: My child already has some experience. Will this be good for them?
A: Yes! All of our teachers are professionally trained performers as well as teachers. If your child has shown a love for music and working towards performing regularly, they’d be right at home.
Q: Are your programs interactive classes or one-on-one?
A: Both! This all comes down to what’s best for the client. Most of our kids’ lessons are interactive classes. Singing together is a great opportunity to develop other musical skills at a younger age. And one-on-one can be the perfect solution for someone in preparation mode.
Q: How much time do I need to block off for this?
A: This all comes down to what the client needs. Most of our kids’ classes are roughly one hour a week. And some of our clients are with us 3 hours a week. It really depends on what the end goal is
Q: Will there be recitals?
A: Yes. We call them Performance Parties. We do them in person, virtually, and at local community events. You can have the opportunity to perform in front of a live audience.
Q: Is there a performance or recital fee?
A: No. All of our performances and recitals are free to our clients.
Q: Is there anything else for me to buy?
A: No. You just show up to your lessons ready to sing. You will need to have access to an instrument if your goal is to sing and play at the same time. We can recommend inexpensive instrument to get started with.
Q: Will I be put into a contract?
A: No. You can be a customer of ours for 30 minutes or 30 years. We hope it’s the latter 🙂
Would it be a ridiculous idea to see if we are the perfect fit for what you’re looking for?
So how does this all work?

Your Customized Plan

You're Part of The Family
After laying the groundwork during your first FREE lesson, you’ll have a detailed plan that you and your coach will come up with. So you, or your kids, can get the experience you expected.
