  • New Client Questionnaire & Permissions Form

    Help me get to know you and your voice.

  • Congratulations, again, and welcome to the Keep Singing! group lessons & coaching program! You have made a distinct choice to invest in yourself and your dreams, and I applaud you for that. Thank you for choosing the KS! program. My goal is to make this one of the best decisions you make this year - and, I hope, your life. 

    This is a rather comprehensive form, because I want to know you, your voice, and your experience, so I can better serve you. Yet also, some of these questions – the "Your Vision" section in particular but others as well – are part of your personal work to define your motivations for developing your voice.

    Vocal development is a commitment of time and energy, in addition to what you've invested in this program or others. Therefore, it's vital to understand your internal motivations - what's really driving you to do this? You've probably heard about "knowing your 'why.'" Knowing your "why" really will transform your experience of this program and others, not to mention your daily practice. 

    I recommend setting aside 20-30 minutes to thoughtfully answer the questions included below.

    • Your Information

    • Your Past Vocal Training 
    • Your Voice Type/Range 

    • I'm definitely not rushing to label you as a particular voice type. Through the years, many people who have come to study with me had been previously incorrectly told they're a particular voice type. That classification, whether correct or incorrect, caused them to shy away from certain pitches or parts of their range as a result. Voice "parts" or classifications are nice to know for general purposes, but they're only necessary for operatic roles, singing in a choir, or selecting classical repertoire. For most other purposes, it's not strictly necessary to know what your voice "classification" is. If you can sing something and it sounds and feels good, then you can sing it. That said, knowing the general description gives me a general sense of the voices with which I'm working and helps me shape the program content.

    • Your Vision 

    • THIS SECTION IS AS MUCH FOR YOU AS IT IS FOR ME TO GET TO KNOW YOU.

      Please take a few minutes - as many as it takes - to provide thoughtful answers to these questions. You have the option of saving your answers and returning to this another time.

      That said, I urge you not to put this off or think too hard about it. And definitely don't try to fancy-up your answers. I often find it's best to "go with your gut" on your answers. I don't want "pretty/sanitized/fancy/'right' answers," I want real answers - your answers.

      Also, the sooner I have your responses from this form, the sooner I can start getting to know you and the sooner you can have an influence on shaping this program.
