FAQ

  • ➡️ What are the extras and how do they work?
    Extras are thoughtful, personalized touches I offer to students enrolled in a 10-lesson journey. They are designed to support your learning in a thoughtful and creative way, beyond the session itself. They’re not fixed or guaranteed in number — they depend on your rhythm, your needs, and our shared journey. 45 and 60 minutes sessions (as a package) Some examples of extras I've offered: Custom-recorded vocal exercises Printable PDFs to help you absorb a concept more deeply Handwritten notes or symbolic cards in your mailbox Occasional small gifts — meaningful, never random Gentle check-ins or voice messages between sessions Presence over email for all of your questions Guaranteed support during audition season 30 minutes sessions (as a package) Written recap of the session’s key takeaway sent by email Optional check-in on your practice between sessions The idea behind extras isn’t “more stuff” — it’s more care, at the right moment, for the right reason. I don’t offer extras for single sessions.
  • ➡️ Should I have a specific level before booking?
    Nooooo! Beginners are more than welcome!
  • ➡️ How far in advance can I cancel an appointment?
    Last-minute cancellations are complicated to manage; please notify me at least 24 hours in advance if you cannot make it to an appointment. Otherwise, the class will be due and replaced, if you wish, by an email session. An email session consists of a few exchanges between us until your next lesson. You send a recording of an exercise or a song. We work on it together, by recordings from you and me, to improve a specific point of your technique or work precisely on the piece you have chosen.
  • ➡️  Do I have to book a specific number of appointments? Are the lessons on a regular basis?
    You book your lessons at your own pace and according to your availability. Note, however, that regular practice, even if the lesson only lasts 30 minutes, will always make you progress faster because your brain will assimilate good vocal habits more quickly. You can also use the recordings of the lessons (which I will give you) to practice between two lessons :)!
  • ➡️ Do I need diligent practice between two singing classes?
    If your goal is effective progress, the ideal would be to devote at least ten minutes a day to the exercises we did in class, thanks to the recording of the class. Ten minutes a day will always be better than three hours straight once a week. To progress, your brain must learn new automatisms. These automatisms are set up thanks to repetitive practice; that's why even ten minutes of singing a day, being aware of what you're doing, will always be more effective than a big practice every weekend. If you sing for fun without looking for a perfect technique, a so-called "assiduous" practice is not necessary; it all depends on the goals you set for yourself.
  • ➡️ Are classes maintained during school holidays?
    Yes, if you are available, I am too!
  • ➡️ Can I pay online?
    Absolutely! I can either generate a special pay link for you that will work for all of your sessions (+2.3% + $0.30 processing fees), or we can use Interac eTransfer.
  • ➡️ Is there parking at the studio?
    Yes! You can use one of nvrlnd's (where the studio is located!) parking spots, or park on the street, both for free.
  • ➡️ Where do classes take place?
    If you are in Calgary, our vocal lessons occur at 1048 21 Ave SE, 5 minutes from Downtown! If you want to work online, we usually use Zoom as it is the most convenient tool (so far!), but if you prefer WhatsApp, Skype or FaceTime, this is possible too :)!

  • ➡️ What is the structure of a typical musician coaching session?
    Please refer to this page to understand the coaching process.
  • ➡️ What software is used for the coaching sessions?
    The sessions are conducted via Zoom (preferred) or by telephone.
  • ➡️ Can I get a free consultation before committing?
    Yes, you can! I offer a complimentary session (application-based) designed to give you a taste of what coaching with me is like. During this free session, we will discuss your goals, challenges, and what you hope to achieve through coaching. It's an excellent opportunity for you to ask questions and for us to determine if we are a good fit to work together. After your complimentary session, we will proceed to an Unravelling Session. This in-depth session dives deeper into your current situation, uncovering underlying issues and providing a clearer path forward. This session will serve as the foundation for your coaching: you will establish your coaching theme, aspirations, and goals to create your personalized growth plan before we start our regular meetings. After these initial sessions, you can decide on the plan you would like to pursue. If none of the existing plans corresponds to your needs, I can create a specific one for you, with a tailored number of sessions, based on what we discuss during your Unravelling Session.
  • ➡️ What is the cancellation and rescheduling policy?
    Sessions can be rescheduled up to 24 hours in advance. A coaching session cancelled within 24 hours of the meeting will be charged and not rescheduled. In the event of a cancellation due to force majeure, clients will be entitled to reschedule their session without any additional fees.
  • ➡️ Is there parking at the studio?
    Yes! You can use one of nvrlnd's (where the studio is located!) parking spots, or park on the street, both for free.
