Fees

 

Private tuition:

 

£30 per hour or £20 per ½ hour

 

Every voice is unique and private lessons are ideally done on a one-to-one basis so that they can be tailored to the

needs and abilities of the individual.  However, a one hour session may be shared by up to 3 students at the above

rates in order to ease the cost.  For larger groups, please enquire for applicable fees.

 

For individual students I recommend a 1hr lesson every 2 weeks.
