Pricing & Payment

30 minute lesson - $50.00

45 minute lesson - $75.00

60 minute lesson - $100.00

Payment is due at the time of or in advance of each lesson meeting. I accept checks, cash, venmo, cashapp, and debit/credit cards via Stripe and PayPal. When paying with cash, please pay in exact change. No lessons are given on credit. No postdated checks are accepted. Any returned checks must be reimbursed with an added fee of $30. Lessons purchased within a lesson package must be used within one calendar year of purchase. Unused lessons from a package are non-refundable.

In an effort to foster financial accessibility and economic justice, I offer sliding scale pricing to those seeking voice instruction but facing financial strain. If you are interested in this option, please contact me at kristen.murdaugh@gmail.com to discuss sliding scale rate options.


Cancellation

 

24 hours notice of cancellation is required in order to receive a make-up lesson. If cancellation does not occur with 24 hours notice, you must still pay for the lesson. Exceptions only made for sickness and emergencies, with notice given prior to the start of the lesson. If I have to cancel a lesson, I will make every effort to reschedule. 


Studio Recital

UPDATE: Studio recitals will be conducted online for the foreseeable future due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

I aim to organize at least 1 studio recital per year. You are not obligated to perform in the recital. Finalized date/time/location information will be sent out a minimum of two months prior to the recital. A pianist will be provided for the recital dress rehearsal and performance (only for in-person recitals). Any rehearsal with the pianist prior to the dress rehearsal and recital will be your financial responsibility. 


Additional Policies

 

Please come to your lessons prepared, having practiced between lessons.

Bring a recording device to record your lessons so you can listen back to them as you practice throughout the week as well as to track your progress.

Other recommended items for lessons are water and a pencil. 

Please bring your music with you to each lesson. If you forget your music, let me know as soon as possible so I may have an extra copy for you when you arrive to your lesson.

If you would like to have a pianist at your lesson, please let me know in advance. The fee will vary based on the length of the pianist's involvement in the lesson. You will be responsible for paying the pianist's fee.
