*To be accepted into the studio, you must first register for a professional vocal evaluation and consultation with us. Click here to  register for your CONSULTATION AND VOCAL EVALUATION.  This is an introductory session where you will meet with Tricia Grey, MM, to have your voice or songwriting professionally evaluated, discuss your goals, and find a regular weekly spot in the schedule.

 

Distance Learning is fun, convenient, and easy! Many students who live in the Atlanta area use this option a couple of times per month along with “in person” lessons for the convenience factor! Students all over the world study with Tricia using a webcam and ichat or skype, or call in for lessons using speakerphone.

Here’s How It Works

1. You register for a consultation/evaluation session with Tricia where you will meet via skype or ichat, prepay for your lessons and set up a lesson schedule. (The rates are the same as for “in person” lessons). Download the Student Info and FAQ 2012 updated document and the Student Registration Form updated forms.  Fill out the REGISTRATION FORM and mail it to:  Tricia Grey   320 High Meadow Drive, Marietta, GA   30068.

2. If you are on Skype, Tricia’s contact is triciagrey1. If you use iChat, Tricia’s buddy name is triciagrey@mac.com or triciagrey@me.com. Add her as a contact (skype) or buddy (ichat) before the lesson time.

3. Send a “contact request” (skype). At the appointed lesson time ring Tricia by clicking on the camera icon.

4. Mac users can record and save your lessons by downloading Video Conference Recorder at www.ecamm.com. PC users can download similar software at www.pamela.biz

5. You will see Tricia, AND yourself on the screen when taking the lesson by webcam. This is a very valuable teaching tool; when reviewing the lesson, you will be able to see what you are doing, not just hear it!

6. Although there may be some degree of latency (sound delay) when using the webcam method, many students get used to this very quickly and actually prefer the “distance learning” option for the convenience factor, and the fact that you can see yourself on the playback.  Using headphones helps tremendously.

7. For speakerphone lessons, call the studio at the appointed time. If you have an iphone you can use the FACETIME function- it’s almost like being there in person! Many cell phones offer Skype. With all this great technology, you can take lessons from anywhere!

8. All studio policies regarding payment and missed lessons apply to distance lessons.
