Frequently Asked Questions

YOU’VE GOT QUESTIONS, I’VE GOT ANSWERS

Can I work with you in person if I live in Halifax?

YES! Even though I have an international clientele, I offer in person voice coaching in my Armview area studio. These spaces are limited. Please click the CONTACT page to ask any questions or fill out THIS FORM to apply to work with Elise (please only fill out this form if you're ready to commit to voice coaching with me!). 

Are you a classical or opera voice coach?

In a word, nope! I specialize in working with singers who sing popular styles of music.
I'm also a contemporary music vocalist and have vast experience singing and teaching all styles! The old adage" learn classical to sing healthy" isn't part of our vocabulary here! 

Do you work with kids?

I will consider working with mature, coach-able teens after a paid trial lesson to see if we're a good fit. The teens I work with are actively performing, writing music or planning to in the near future. At this time, I'm not accepting any younger students below the age of 16. 

Do you work with hobby singers or just professionals?

I work with all singers!

If you aren't a professional singer, you are welcome here! The only request is that you're open to fully expressing yourself for self-development and musical interest. 

I have/have had vocal nodules, can you help me get my voice back?

I have extensive knowledge and experience helping singers recover from vocal injury and muscle tension dysphonia. I'm happy to work with you, provided you've been given the all clear from your laryngologist. Recovering from vocal injury can be a long process, I'm here to support you!

Can I just book one single session?

I do offer a trial/single session if I have the availability in my schedule. Please inquire via the CONTACT page for availability!
