Ursula Martineau Voice Studio

Payment:

Lessons are based on a monthly tuition that is due the first week of every month. A $20 late fee will be charged for payments received after the 10th of the month. Most forms of payment are accepted including cash, check, credit card or Venmo @Ursula-Martineau. The monthly fees are as follows: 

$150/month for 30 minute lessons (only for young beginner voices)

$195/month for 45 minute lessons (most recommended)

$240/month for 60 minute lessons (for the more advanced singer)

Recital Participation Fee - $15 per student

Individual Coaching Sessions - $70/hour

Note: There will be approximately 4 times in the year that the student's lessons will include a 5th week and there will be approximately 4 weeks of holidays that the student will not have a lesson (see below.)   Therefore, the monthly tuition balances out over the course of the year. 

There will be extra expenses for purchasing original sheet music and accompanist fees during auditions and recitals when necessary. I will accompany my students the majority of the time.

Your monthly fee will include the following:

*Each student will be given a weekly day and time slot for their private vocal instruction.  Students can choose to come in person or take online lessons through zoom.

*Each student will be invited to participate in at least one or more Studio Voice Recitals a year where they will perform songs from their repertoire for friends and family. 

*Each student will be given a unique login to Ursula's mymusicstaff interactive website where they can view their personal lesson calendar, view upcoming events, log practice times, access repertoire lists and recordings to use at home, reschedule lessons, view invoices and pay their tuition. 

Cancellations:

Students are required to give at least 24 hours notice to cancel a lesson except in the case of emergency or sudden illness. If they have given more than 24 hours notice, they are entitled to a make up lesson.  They are limited to 3 makeups per semester unless discussed and cleared with me.  They will have a generous 60 days to make up the lesson, after which time the lesson will be forfeited.  It is up to the student to schedule a make up lesson in one of the available slots shown on the calendar.  

In the event that a lesson is cancelled by me, the student will of course be given a make up lesson.

Time slots:

Time slots will only be held for four weeks.  If a student misses lessons for four consecutive weeks, their time slot will be forfeited and considered open for another student. A new time slot can be obtained based on studio availability.

Holiday and Vacation Time:

The studio will be closed with NO makeup credits given the entire week of Thanksgiving, Jeffco Winter Break from around December 22-January 5, Jeffco Spring Break, and One week in the summer (often the last week of July).

Summer Lesson Packages:

During the months of June, July and August, students can choose a Summer Package where they receive 8 lessons to use at their discretion. All lesson spots will be 45 minutes long.  This option is best for students who have significant conflicts with their normal lesson slot or who plan to take lessons only during the summer. Students may choose their lesson slots based on studio availability, jumping around as needed to accommodate their busy summer schedules. As a bonus, parents/families will be invited to attend their student’s final lesson to hear their student perform for them!

The cost for Summer Package is $400 for 8 lessons.  Payment is due at the first lesson.
