Featured Offers of the Month
Pay What You Can/Free: Over the last few months, we've been chatting about and around the question "If you have nothing to say, why are you making art?" And I have a BUNCH of options to help you hone your philosophies AND share them with the world. Free on Saturday mornings at 10 am EST I host Vocally Courageous with Sulena Olivia on Clubhouse, once you join you're part of the fam <3 And if you're looking more for strategy, audits, and encouragement, join Content Cohort for PWYC. Sign up here.
Mid-ticket: Drop in and regular VOICE lessons. This rarely comes about, but I can accommodate about two regular students and any number of drop-ins as we head into the fall. I've worked for years to develop a student-led, goal-oriented safe-for-all studio. I've flipped the traditional model on it's head. So if you're into a teacher who doesn't conform to all the standards, jump on in! Sign up for a free consultation. I teach online, in person, or hybrid whatever works best for you. Rates are $75/hr for regular lessons and $80/hr for drop-ins.
PS. If you think you can't afford it please reach out. I have a fund to help students afford lessons. If you'd like to donate, click here. Just followup with an email to let me know you're not reserving a spot, just donating to the pot!

Clara Byom is out and about on summer tour part 2, but she'll be back in New Mexico with a slew of shows in September. She also has an upcoming waltz album releasing this fall which patrons will get for free! Check out her website or her socials for deets!
Violinist Aja Majkrzak: A Snapshot in Time: I'm making my way through the 30 Mazas etudes for violin. Every Monday I'm releasing a video of me sight reading the etude to Patreon. Then I'll use that video to diagnose what to work on through the week and release a video on YouTube by the following Sunday. The idea is to share my process and what kind of progress can actually be made in one week. Like any live performance, these videos are just a snapshot in time.
