Private group sessions

*On-location NYC lessons are available at an additional cost of $60/hr of total added travel-time.

**By paying, I signify I have read, understand, agree with, and identify with the agreements listed below.

Agreements

• Preparation - I will come, to the best of my ability to each lesson well slept, well nourished, and prepared to be generously present. (Here’s a link for helpful zoom preparation considerations - https://voicebrave.com/zoomprep)

• Cancellations - I agree to only cancel a scheduled lesson at least 24 hours before the lesson. After two cancellations in less that 24 hours, I will be required to pay an additional $150 per lesson to continue with future lessons in the package.

• Commitment - I commit to following through on scheduling (through the lesson scheduling link) and attending the 9 lessons. All lessons must be redeemed within 90 days of the first lesson. Any remaining lessons after that date will be forfeited without refund.

• Dedication - I am committed to practicing / playing with my voice every day, for at least 5 minutes a day, as a gesture of dedication to my voice, no matter the particular form or speed of growth. In this daily practice / play, I will deepen my familiarity with the foundational tools I learn in lessons. 

• Individualized growth - This lesson structure is intentionally designed to balance structure, motivation, technique, and intuitive play, and it also meant to be customized to my individual voice and creative desires, to suit their evolving needs over the course of the 3 months. I am committed to tracking my own needs + intuitions, and notifying Rhys if I’m wanting change or support in some way in the lesson approach. My aim is to enjoy a process of slow growth as I give my devoted effort to learning the tools + concepts in my own way, adapting them with Rhys’s collaboration to suit my unique learning path. Rhys will do his best to encourage, support, and inform my process, and I will take full responsibility for my own growth and enjoyment of the lessons.

• Recording - private lessons will be recorded, and I will be given access to the recordings for my personal practice. Group sessions may be recorded. Any recordings of the course may only be made public by Rhys, and only with the written consent of those whose voices can be heard in the recording.

• Gender diversity - I understand that this space seeks to include and celebrate gender nonconformity. I also understand that sex assigned at birth (Assigned Male At Birth / Assigned Female At Birth) may correlate vocal anatomy with voice type (AMAB with bass, baritone, tenor, AFAB with alto, soprano), Rhys will encourage approaching vocal technical development with an awareness for my unique range + voice type, in service of vocal safety and sustainable technical development.

• Personal responsibility for wellness - I understand some of the tools used in the course are designed to deepen my awareness of myself. Singing and tending to the voice, like any path of healing or transformation, can involve an uprising of vulnerability, in the form of intense emotions, forgotten memories, unfamiliar sensations, etc. Oftentimes this is fascinating and fun, and sometimes this can be destabilizing. I am responsible for getting any additional support or care from friends or mental health professionals if I’m needing it during the time of the course and after. I am encouraged to partake in therapy and other health support systems outside of the voice brave course. I understand this course is not therapy and is not a substitute for therapy.

• Liability - I understand that by choosing to work with my body and voice through physical and singing exercises, I may put myself at risk for injury. I take full responsibility for any personal injuries that may incur during or after this course, and I will not hold Rhys liable in anyway whatsoever for any kind of injury to my person, voice, or belongings.
