I apologize that I am a little late in responding to this however it was due to the fact that I have been dealing with the same sort of thing in both my singing teaching exams and acting exams with the same student. A 16 year old who went home and told his mother that I was wrong in putting him in for Grade 6 only in drama and yet he was happy that he was doing grade 6 in singing and is a better singer. I had his mother on the phone twice a week for 4 weeks telling me what she and her son believed. In the end I was blunt also as I was starting to take it personally that they were disrespecting me. The student also was always missing his drama lessons because he was in everything here 5 productions and yet he thought he would be ready. He has now left me as a singing teacher because his exam has now passed so I assume he will be gone after our production in the middle of May. I am the expert and at this for 20 years however I still find this difficult to deal with. Had he not left I was going to ask them to find another teacher anyway!

I use to work from home when it was just me. Now I have a studio of 4 teaching rooms and 6 teachers including me! I have space in a Training facility making rent and bills cheaper! Rent £350 per month but have paid more!

Definitely do Estate with Anne marie speed. It is scientifically proven and makes so much sense once you know the science behind it! Definitely makes for a better teacher!

Stress has a lot to do with it! You need to drink at least 2 litres of water per day and you also need vocal rest somewhere in your week as you maybe just doing too much for your body hence the stress! Hope you feel better soon!

Hi Dave
I have been charging £35.00 per hour and £18.00 for 30 minutes. However the cost of living has increased so I may consider increasing the rates too although some of the students have been with me a while and I woukd rather keep them than lose them. I might increase for new students starting maybe from Septmber. I will speak to Matt to see what others are doing too.
