“My goal is to help with confidence and technique so that you can be your best self vocally!”

BOOK AN INTERVIEW WITH MADISON NOW
I started singing and dancing when I was a baby. My papa would sit me up in my carseat on the industrial freezer he had in his man-cave, and he’d play all sorts of things, ACDC, The Beatles, Bon Jovi, you name it. It was this act of love for music and for the joy that can come with it that, I think, made my love of singing and performing even stronger as I grew older. Using vocal techniques is a practice, something that even the best of us still have to work on everyday in order to maintain our beautiful voices! That’s why I’m a firm believer in the idea that singers aren’t always born with talent! A lot of times, the talent someone can show us in their voice is all about the years of training and practicing that came before. Everyone can sing! I repeat: Everyone. Can. Sing. It’s just about how much you love it, and therefore how much effort you’re willing to put into it! Lessons with me will always be calm, productive, and joyful! The more you love what work you’re doing, the more your voice will improve, and from my experience, positivity and faith are the way to go! Not only will I work to help all students feel confident in their vocal technique, but I will also put focus on confidence in your abilities! Not everyone can do all the same things vocally, and that’s okay! My goal is to help with confidence and technique so that you can be your best self vocally!
Name: Madison (Full name will be provided upon registration)
Age: 18
Gender: female
I have about 9 years of experience training and performing in Musical theatre and Popular Voice styles, and though a lot of my vocal technique is from my own personal research and growth, I have also been taught and adjudicated by many marvellous teachers, performers, and judges in my years so far! I have competed in local vocal/talent competitions such as the Rotary Music Festival or the Western Fair District’s Rise2Fame Competition, even making it as far as the OMFA provincials where I won an honourable mention in my category both back in 2021 and in 2023! I am currently enrolled in UTM’s Theatre and Drama Studies program, offered exclusively in conjunction with Sheridan College! Here, I will expand my knowledge of anatomy and vocal technique so that I can continue to bring updated knowledge to my students!

Rates and Studio Policies
Registration Fee: $25.00 (One-time lifetime registration fee may be used by all family members)
Rates for instruction:
30 minute private lesson: $39.00
45 minute private lesson: $49.00
60 minute private lesson: $59.00
Travel charge: additional $15.00 per visit (for lessons in a client's home as opposed to my studio)
1. Cancellation Policy
Lessons not cancelled or rescheduled with at least 24 hours notice are billable to the client and payable to the teacher. This does not of course apply to travel fees unless the notice is effectively given at the door and the teacher has travelled to the location.
2. Cessation (quitting) Policy
A client must provide a 2 lesson notice period to stop lessons. So a weekly student needs to give 2 weeks of notice, a biweekly student works out to 3 weeks notice and a twice weekly student works out to a week of notice.
3. Illness Policy
Lessons cancelled due to illness or extraordinary circumstances with less than 24 hours notice remain billable to the client and payable to the teacher.
BAH teachers are encouraged to offer a make-up lesson at a future date in the interest of client relations and general goodwill. This only makes sense as teaching a student with the flu for example, will ruin the rest of your week's employment.
No more than 2 lessons may be made up due to illness within a 60 day period.
4. Rescheduling Policy
Any lesson can be cancelled or rescheduled with at least 24 hours notice.
Summer Vacation and Extended Absence Policy
Clients may schedule longer absences for trips etc. 24 hours notice is required.
It is normal and typical for students and about 20% of our teachers to schedule a break in the summer. We do not enforce a notice period (see cessation of lessons) at the end of a long summer break.
5. Evaluation Period
There are no free trial lessons with Beethoven at Home but we do offer a 2 lesson evaluation period where it is easy to try out a teacher. There are no free lessons during the evaluation period and clients may choose to discontinue the lessons at any time by providing the required 24 hours notice. After the student's 3rd lesson the required 2 lesson notice period will apply (see cessation of lessons above).
Online lessons
Madison can provide online instruction. While other platforms are possible BAH strongly recommends the use of the Zoom video conferencing platform as it is optimized for music lessons and audio quality.
