Lessons
Individual, one-to-one lessons take place at The VoiceBox; other than
lessons taken in schools as part of a contract for a set period of
teaching, or lessons arranged privately and directly with specific
VoiceBox associate tutors.
The VoiceBox is open for teaching between
late afternoon Monday and mid afternoon Saturday; and lessons are
given during the day time and in the evening. Sunday lessons are not
normally available, but can occasionally be arranged.
Students can request
lessons of either 30 or 60 minutes in length; and where regular
lessons are wanted, these will normally be on a weekly or fortnightly
cycle.
We do not operate a
waiting list – which can be a very dispiriting experience! – but
instead try to respond quickly and use cancellations and temporary
changes in timetable to bring in new students. This does, however,
mean that times of lessons can initially be variable; but as soon as
we can, we find you a regular timetable slot at a time convenient to
you – if you would like one.
New students begin
with an initial consultation lesson at the standard fee. This is
normally a full hour, in order to cover the necessary first lesson
work.
Advance payment for
a series of six lessons (either 30 or 60 minutes) attracts a
substantial 20% discount on the standard
fee.
Payment can be made
in cash or by cheque with bank guarantee card. We regret that we
cannot accept credit cards.
