Karin Asselstine , Voice Performance and Pedagogy
Objectives
*Build the voice through systematic technique suitable to assigned literature: unamplified
*Concentrate on communication, interpretation, and musicianship as technical progress allows.
*Have fun

Attendance and Cancellations 
*24 hours notice is required for all non-emergency cancellations in order for a make-up lesson to be offered.  I will make up all lessons missed by me. 
*If you or your child is too ill to attend work or school, you or your child is too ill to attend a voice lesson.  Please call to cancel for illness.  

Performing
*Performing is a required element in music study.  There are performing opportunities I will provide throughout the year. 
*Outside accompanists for studio events are permissible with my approval only.
*Recitalists are expected to work with an accompanist. Therefore, there is an additional fee involved. 

*Your lesson tuition covers your lessons only. Students are responsible for all fees associated with book purchases, auditions, competitions, recordings, and any other related performances. 

Music and Music Resources
*I am happy and recommend a student to bring in repertoire ideas.  Though, I may choose not to work on certain material in lessons.
