Private Voice, Drums and/or Piano Coaching
Want to work on your vocal range or learn to play the piano or drums? Private weekly 30- minute lessons are available with our talented and professional team members to help you expand your craft. You can work on material of your choice, making weekly lessons a great way to prepare for an upcoming audition. There is a detailed cancellation policy, please inquire about it prior to registering. Lessons are by advanced appointment only and must be paid for at the time of booking. Please note that private lessons are not considered a Stagecrafters class.
Once you register for a day, the coach will reach out to participants on a first come first serve basis to select a time. Please understand that you may not receive your first choice of time but we will do our best to accommodate all schedules.
Attendance Policy: Lessons missed due to student illness or any other circumstance are still considered billable. Lessons canceled due to school closing, graded school events only (i.e. – band/choir concerts – if advanced notice is given) or a Stagecrafters approved event are excused and you will not be billed for the lesson. Please be aware that a written note or courtesy call to cancel a lesson does not mark that lesson as “excused” and our coaching staff is not required to follow-up with each student regarding absences.
