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.
