Studio Policies — Alami Voice Studio

📅 Attendance & Cancellations

• To respect everyone’s time and keep the studio running smoothly, I ask for at least 24 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule a lesson.
• If a lesson is missed without proper notice (a “no-show”), it will be charged in full.
• Your lesson time is reserved just for you — arriving on time ensures you get the most out of it. Please remember, you’re booking the time slot, not a guaranteed number of minutes.
• Students are expected to attend regularly to support consistent progress.

🎒 What to Bring & How to Practice

• Bring a binder or folder to every lesson to keep music and handouts organized.
• I strongly recommend recording your lesson (using your phone or another device), so you can review and practice more effectively during the week.
• Daily practice is essential. Just like any skill, your voice grows with consistent use. Even on busy days, a short, focused session is far more effective than cramming once or twice a week.
• We’ll set realistic, personalized practice goals together to help you grow at your own pace.

🧠 Staying Focused

• Voice work requires awareness of how your body and sound feel. I’ll stay focused on your lesson, and I ask you to do the same — please silence phones and avoid distractions unless it's urgent.
• Be curious, engaged, and ready to experiment — that’s how we grow!

🎯 My Commitment to You

Here’s what you can expect from me as your teacher:

  • A supportive, encouraging environment where you can explore and improve your voice

  • Clear, honest feedback and help setting achievable goals

  • A well-rounded approach that includes vocal technique, repertoire, musical interpretation, and ear training

  • Repertoire choices tailored to your goals — whether you love classical, musical theatre, pop, or something in between

🌱 Your Role as a Student

  • Practice daily — steady progress depends on consistency and intention

  • Use lesson recordings and notes to reinforce what we worked on

  • Come on time and ready to sing

  • Ask questions, take risks, and have fun — growth comes from curiosity and effort!
