Private Lessons

Vocal study usually becomes a life-long pursuit that is highly rewarding for most of one’s life, whether for personal or social fulfillment. Individuals who have an intense interest and desire to sing will find singing opportunities in nearly any community. My goal is to facilitate Body Dialogue practices which enable individuals to sing expressively using their own musical ideas and style in several languages.

VOICE LESSONS POLICIES

1. FEES – Lessons may be paid weekly or on a monthly basis. Checks, Zelle, Venmo and Cash are accepted. Any returned checks must be reimbursed with added fees. If you have more than two checks returned, you will continue on a cash only basis. Please call 407-234-0928 for current rates.

2. LESSON SCHEDULING – Your lesson time is set aside in my schedule each week solely for you. With sufficient notice, I may be able to reschedule a lesson if you are unable to make a regularly scheduled lesson. Your first lesson (at my current rate) and initial interview may be scheduled by calling 407-234-0928 or by emailing: claire.j.hodge@gmail.com.

3. LOCATION – I maintain studios in Southwest Orlando and College Park, FL. Based on availability, we will discuss the best option for you.

4. CANCELLATIONS – Please keep in mind you are paying for a block of time. A minimum of 24 hours notice is requested for cancellation. We may choose to schedule a virtual lesson if an in-person lesson is not possible. Full payment is expected for a “no show”. Future lessons will not be scheduled until the unexcused, missed lesson is paid in full.

5. PROMPTNESS – If you are late, you should still expect the lesson to end at the scheduled time.

“Working with Claire has completely changed the experience of singing for me — definitely for the better! I feel a freedom and ease now when I sing. I can trust my voice and my technique to sing any kind of repertoire. Singing is a real joy for me instead of something I stress over. The breathing and body alignment techniques that Claire incorporates into her teaching not only make my singing easier and better, they also benefit me in everyday life.” -John Wettach
