SINGING LESSON DESCRIPTION
POLICIES PROCEDURES
Yvonne DeBandi is currently teaching in Star Valley (Thayne), Wyoming.
Please print, complete and bring to your first singing lesson.

Each private singing lesson is designed to meet the needs of the individual student. First the current level is determined. Second, the singer's goals are determined. And third, the journey from Point A to Point B is carefully organized and monitored. Each singing student is assigned a vocal education curriculum and expected to take responsibility for their own vocal development.

Everyone is welcome: all ages, all levels, male or female and all musical styles. Training for worship leaders, church choirs, choral groups, bands, etc., also available. Coach Yvonne also has great experience in training telemarketers and ministers for good vocal production, health and speech performance.

Training Tracks Available:

• Vocal Mechanics 101 - One Hour Lessons
  16 weekly lessons focusing on honing your vocal mechanic skills and performance of three songs. There is a syllabus to be followed and a required curriculum. Upon completion, students generally enter the "Performance Track."
• Vocal Mechanics 101b - Half Hour Lessons
  20 weekly lessons focusing on honing your vocal mechanic skills and performance of three songs. There is a syllabus to be followed and a required curriculum. Upon completion, students generally enter the "Performance Track."
• Fast Track Vocal Mechanics 101
  8 one hour lessons. Vocal mechanics are presented in the first two lessons with the following lessons focusing on application to three songs of your choice. There is a syllabus to be followed and a required curriculum. Very intense training, but very successful for diligent students.
• Performance Track
  This track is chosen when the student wishes to put on a concert or record a CD. 10-15 songs are chosen and studied in class. For both the demo CD and the concert, the student is responsible for handling all details, which enhances the learning experience. Goals are set for timeframes for completion, but are different for each individual.
• Custom Singing Lessons
  Individual half-hour and hour lessons are available for all other purposes. If the above classes do not suit your needs, please contact us to discuss how we can help you.
• Professional Singer Tune-up

Payment Information:
Payment in advance is required. No exceptions. Checks, money orders, credit cards are accepted for payment (MCard, Visa, AmEx). Please do not ask our scheduling staff to make an exception to this policy, there are too many students and too few timeslots available to risk a "no show."

Payments are processed on the last day of the month for the following month. Full payment for a specific track in advance offers 10% discount.

Scheduling:
Please use the site support form or call us at 813-417-3630 to schedule your singing lesson.

Lesson Assignments:
Only serious students are provided a longterm spot at SingSMART™ Singing Lesson Studios. “Serious” means those students that put effort into their training and not just during the voice lesson. You will be asked to diary your practice time in your spiral notebook. This reference helps to ensure that your progress correlates with your practice time appropriately. A syllabus is provided to help you keep track of your assignments.

I understand that if I pay for my singing lessons by credit card, my statement will read A2Z Smart Consulting Group Inc.

I have read, understand and accept the singing lesson policies and procedures as outlined above.
