Private Lessons & Group Classes

Private lessons are available for students ages 11 through adult—no one is ever too old to start singing! Students in fifth through eighth grades are encouraged to enroll in group lessons, where they get experience in solo singing, ensemble singing, and listening.

BRVS Payment Policy (Effective 1/14/19)

Payment in full is due at each lesson unless you’ve made a previous payment arrangement. If you prefer, you may prepay for a series of lessons. Payment may be made by cash, check (payable to “Bill Reed Voice Studio”), or by Venmo (@billreedvoicestudio). We appreciate your business and prompt payment! We reserve the right to prevent scheduling of future lessons if your account carries a balance due.

BRVS Cancellation Policy (Effective 1/14/19)

I appreciate as much notice as possible if you need to cancel your lesson: A lesson cancelled with short notice is a missed opportunity for another student.

You will receive a lesson reminder email 72 hours prior to your scheduled lesson. Cancellations may be made using the BRVS Student Portal. If you cannot access the portal, you may email billreedvoicestudio@gmail.com. (Please keep in mind that I do not check email while I am teaching.) Cancellations may not be made by phone, text, or voice mail message. You are responsible for keeping your email contact information up to date in the BRVS Student Portal.

Cancellations received 48 hours or more in advance of the lesson time: No charge.

Cancellations received 24 to 48 hours in advance of the lesson time: Invoiced at the regular rate. You will receive a make-up lesson credit that can be used for up to 90 days. (Make-up lesson credits unused by the expiration date will be forfeited.)

Cancellations received less than 24 hours in advance of the lesson time: Invoiced at the regular rate. In case of illness or emergency, a make-up lesson credit may be issued at my discretion.

No show: Invoiced at the regular rate. In the case of extreme emergency, a make-up lesson credit may be issued at my discretion.

BRVS Lesson Rescheduling (Effective 1/14/19)

You may reschedule your lesson by logging in to the BRVS Student Portal and choosing an available time. If you cannot access the portal, you may email billreedvoicestudio@gmail.com.
