Audra Scott
Thank you for trusting me to guide your child in their vocal development. I am so excited about helping your child pursue their music goals.
I will be assisting your child with All-State contests, solo and ensemble, as well as vocal health and vocal techniques. It would be a great time to get started with private lessons. It is my job to help bring out their hidden talent and potential. As a choir director and vocal coach for over 20 years, I am experienced in helping young students draw out their potential.
I have a learning management system called My Music Staff. Once you sign up, you will receive login information in which you can access your child’s lesson information, invoices, lesson notes, etc. You can even cancel a lesson online with at least 24 hour notice.
All information and material between lessons will be sent via email using My Music Staff, and I will use Remind to communicate with voice students and parents. It is strongly suggested that parents sign up for Remind as well. Once your child signs up for lessons, you both will receive a Remind Code.
Please email "audranscott@gmail.com" for any more information.
