Expectations

  • Students are enthusiastic and invested in their vocal growth; as such, they will be expected to arrive on time and prepared for lessons (sheet music, tracks, pencil, etc.) and make an effort to practice between sessions using provided resources.

  • In the event that a student is experiencing cold or flu symptoms the day of a lesson, but are well enough to sing, they are expected to notify BVS and pivot to a virtual session.


Scheduling & Communication

  • Drop In Students should use the booking platform Calendly for lesson scheduling.

  • Communication should primarily be handled through email, except in cases of time sensitive information, emergency, etc.


Payment

  • Payment for Drop In Lessons may be sent any time before the start of the lesson via Venmo or Zelle.

  • Students holding a weekly appointment will be billed at the beginning of the 12 Week Program, unless a payment plan has been discussed and approved.


Cancellations

  • Students have up to 48 hours before the scheduled lesson to cancel or reschedule without penalty. This allows the spot to be booked by other students on the waitlist.

  • Students will be responsible for the full lesson fee in cases of last minute cancellations and no shows.

  • Exceptions to this policy may be made at the discretion of BVS in cases of illness or emergency.
