"Since I started taking lessons with Celine, I’ve seen a huge difference not only in my technique and range, but also in my confidence. Through her kindness and encouragement, she has a way of inspiring her students to perform and share their music. "

Are previous music lessons, voice lessons, or other experience required?
Are previous music lessons, voice lessons, or other experience required?
Absolutely not! Celine loves to start with students wherever they are at.
I have been told I am "tone deaf" by a friend/family member/music teacher. Are singing lessons suitable for me?

Absolutely! True “tone deafness” or amusia is estimated to affect only between 2% and 5% of the population.(1) Hearing and making music are skills that can be developed for many. If you love to learn and want to sing, then voice lessons are a great option!

Tuition
Tuition
My voice studio follows a tuition system. The teaching year is divided into two semesters. By enrolling for lessons, students reserve a weekly lesson slot for 10 months to support consistency in their education. A monthly tuition payment reserves your weekly lesson spot in my studio as well as covering items such as lesson time, lesson preparation, provision of extra resources such as mp3 practice tracks, repertoire research, administrative work, recital organising, insurance, purchasing needed equipment and resources, and further professional development through NATS, ORMTA, Shenandoah CCM Institute, and the like.
What happens if I have to miss my lesson?
What happens if I have to miss my lesson?
Under the tuition system, students are issued lesson credits for missed lessons, so long as I am given 24 hours notice of the missed lesson. All students have two lesson credits available during the Fall semester and three lesson credits available during the Winter/Spring semester. When you receive a lesson credit, you can redeem it in the flex weeks at the end of each semester. An extra lesson credit may be given for absence due to religious holidays if needed, so long as proper notice is given.
Semester 1 flex weeks: December 7 - December 16 (2026)
Semester 2 flex weeks: June 8 - June 25 (2027)
Drop-in Lessons
Drop-in Lessons
Weekly lessons are strongly recommended for most students, as it is the best way to make the necessary, consistent progress. For more advanced students, or where a weekly lesson is not possible, occasional lessons can be booked when my schedule allows. 24-hour notice is required for the cancellation of a drop-in lesson.
DROP-IN LESSON RATE:
$63/hour
$53/forty-five minutes
