Trial of Live 1:1 Coaching for Adults
Where Practice Meets Refinement ✨
Service Description
Live one-on-one coaching is a focused, adult-centered support option designed to grow directly out of the Masterclass experience. Rather than functioning as traditional private lessons, these short, regular coaching calls provide space for adults to ask targeted questions, troubleshoot challenges, and make creative decisions with guidance from a professional coach. Coaching is practical, responsive, and shaped by what the student is actively working on—whether that is a song in progress, a vocal concern, a production choice, or a creative block. Each live coaching session is thirty minutes in length and occurs monthly, allowing adults to receive consistent support without the pressure or pacing of extended lessons. Sessions are intentionally structured to move quickly into the student’s priorities for the week, offering clear feedback, direction, and next steps. Coaching may address vocal coordination, phrasing, stylistic choices, songwriting questions, arrangement decisions, or how to apply ideas introduced in Masterclass or the self-paced courses. Coaching is rooted in contemporary commercial music styles, including pop, R&B, hip hop, rock, country, and folk. Piano and music production tools are used as supports when helpful—such as clarifying harmony, testing melodic ideas, shaping accompaniment, or refining demos—but are always in service of the student’s creative goals rather than taught as standalone disciplines. Sessions may reference tools like MIDI keyboards or Ableton Live to support exploration, clarity, and experimentation. All live coaching is trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming. Sessions honor each adult’s communication style, sensory needs, energy level, and capacity on a given day. Coaching is collaborative rather than prescriptive, with an emphasis on agency, consent, and sustainable growth. Students are not assigned homework unless it is explicitly requested and mutually agreed upon. Live one-on-one coaching is available only to adults enrolled in Masterclass and Live One-on-One Coaching and takes place during designated time windows to preserve consistency across the studio. This format is ideal for adults who want regular, individualized guidance alongside shared learning—without committing to long-form private lessons or performance-driven training paths.
Booking Policy
At Once Upon a Voice, we are committed to providing a smooth and supportive learning experience for all students and families. Our policies reflect a trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming approach that honors both flexibility and structure. To ensure fair access and consistent progress, each private student selects one recurring lesson time when enrolling. All other bookings will be removed unless explicitly approved. 18-year-olds or the parents of younger students may request a permanent schedule change by email at least one week in advance. If rescheduling, absences, or tardiness become excessive, we may discontinue lessons to open space for students able to engage consistently. If a student cannot attend, a personalized recorded lesson is available with at least 24 hours’ written notice. These recordings are based on each student’s plan and require preparation time, so timely notice is required. Text if the lesson is less than three days away; email if it is three or more. This applies even if the absence has been discussed elsewhere. If a student is late, their lesson will still end at the scheduled time. We remain available for the full duration in case of delays due to anxiety, executive functioning, or other barriers. If no timely notice is given and the student does not arrive, the session is considered missed and cannot be converted into a recording. We are always happy to support your child or teen’s musical growth—but consistency is key. These policies help protect student progress and allow our studio to maintain the high level of care, creativity, and customization that defines Once Upon a Voice.
