Welcome Lesson
30 minutes @ $55.00
This 30-minute WELCOME LESSON is an initial PRIVATE INDIVIDUAL VOICE LESSON with Heidi Skok. A Welcome Lesson is the first step to become a student at Skokstudio. Candidates must complete a Welcome Lesson before being considered for studio membership acceptance. This is an opportunity to share your vocal goals and background with Ms. Skok, and will be conducted similarly to a standard Skokstudio lesson. The Welcome Lesson is offered at a special 27% discount off of the standard hourly lesson rate.
During the first half of the Welcome Lesson, Ms. Skok will identify your voice type and range after listening to your current vocal production. She will also introduce you to her teaching method, including breathing exercises to increase breath support and vocal exercises from her REST(TM) vocal technique, and will then custom-tailor a vocal development plan for you at Skokstudio.
The second half of the Welcome Lesson is reserved for new student orientation and will be conducted by the Studio Manager. At the time and date when the Welcome Lesson takes place a Candidate will very likely be informed that the student membership roster is presently full but if accepted will then be invited to join the current new student waiting list. Accepted new student candidates will then be contacted and onboarded from the waiting list to begin regular weekly lessons as new student openings become available.

Eligibility Requirements
Skokstudio is interested in training serious singers, ages 13 and older, who want to develop their singing ability in any music genre, through the application of classical vocal technique. Eligibility as a candidate for Studio Membership to attend private lessons with Skokstudio is determined strictly on the basis of a student’s desire and commitment to develop as a vocalist.
Some of our students are studying to become professional vocalists, while some are already professional singers or vocal instructors.
Skokstudio also welcomes students who just want to learn to sing better and to discover whether or not a professional singing career is right for them.
Skokstudio determines all new student candidate eligibility for enrollment through an initial Welcome Lesson.
Physical Participation Requirement
Skokstudio lessons are active, and demand a level of physical participation which requires students to stand, freely move around, or crouch for short periods of time, and may use a variety of light fitness equipment from the REST™ Toolkit. Be sure to let your instructor know if you are unable to physically participate so that the curriculum can be modified to fit your abilities where possible.
Personal Computer and Webcam with High-Speed Internet Requirement for Online Lessons over Zoom
All Skokstudio students must have the ability to use a desktop or laptop computer for online lessons over Zoom using a high-speed internet connection.
Although Cell phones, tablets, iPads, Chromebooks are permitted for a Welcome Lesson, students must use either a laptop or desktop home computer with a webcam for online lessons. Cell phones, tablets, Chromebooks or other mobile devices are generally not permitted for regular weekly online lessons and have unacceptably low quality sound.
Students who enroll in regular lessons at Skokstudio are not “In-Person ONLY” – all students must also be able to attend virtually over Zoom. All Skokstudio students must download and install the Zoom application to their computer, which must meet Zoom’s minimum computing requirements.
Students Under Age 18
Talented and dedicated students ages 14 years old and up may also become Studio Members for private instruction. Students must be able to clearly demonstrate that they possess the necessary high level of commitment required by Skokstudio. Students under 18 may take lessons only with parental/guardian consent, and are then permitted to take only 30-minute lessons, unless otherwise directly approved by Skokstudio.
