Who we serve best, and how

How CEVS serves you differently:

Boutique Studio—More ‘Thought per Client’:

The studio is ‘full’ with just 16 regular clients.

If I need to learn more about something to better serve a client, having a smaller client base leaves me with more time and bandwidth to research and design evidence-based solutions for each client’s specific challenges and goals.

Common Problems and Unique Solutions:

Singing lessons—even expensive ‘expert’ lessons come with some common risks and problems. Before you commit to a teacher, long-term, it might be wise to ask how they address these common issues:

Problem #1—Technique improves… then hits a wall:

Some methods can help you with the high notes you can already hit, but aren’t much help with your ‘strong pop high note’ range.

Solution: I track client progress, and what tools are most helpful for each singer, carefully, so I always know your potential, and have a good idea of what to do to keep you improving.

I also studied a very effective method for many years, and augment this study with ongoing evidence-based training.

If you want further assurance, please see the case studies and testimonials. Also see The Method and Speech Level Singing.

Problem #2—Flashy studio, star clients… uneven results:

Some clients study for years at a top studio but find they’re hitting a wall with some aspect of their singing and it holds them back for months or years.

Solution: To be fair, not all challenges can be solved, easily. Some solutions take more time and thought, and a well-structured curriculum. This is why I’ve moved to a smaller client base approach.

We’ll consider all of your big picture goals, up front. I’ll be frank about what think I can and can’t deliver at a high standard, and how long it will likely take, based on previous similar client progress data. But, if I say I’ll deliver… well, a lot of it will always come down to practise, but… I’ll deliver the coaching, and we’ll get there.

Some clients, here, just want chill (but quality) lessons—and that’s fine! Many have explicit or sometimes secret hopes of a bigger change, as well—if that sounds like you, let’s talk about this, and get you all of the results you’re looking for.

Problem #3—Costs and Features:

It’s difficult to find the right balance of cost and expertise, and then there’s ‘being forced to pay for things you don’t want to’ and ‘not being able to get all the features you need.’

Solution: Small studios offering customized lessons can tailor more specifically to your goals.

The No-Risk, Hassle-Free Money Back Guarantee:

If you’re not happy with your first lesson, or any lesson, just let me know, and the lesson will be free. This is easy for me to offer, because I want to deliver high value professional lessons—every single lesson. If a client doesn’t feel I delivered value, at any point, I don’t want to take money for that.

Much more important than the cost of a lesson, to me, is having the opportunity to deliver a meaningful change in your singing ability and larger musical goals.

Let’s do this.
