Lisa Pignotti - Voice Instruction
Pignotti Music Studio of Austin,
Texas
I have studied with Lisa Mari
[Pignotti] since 1990. She helped me increase my range, improve
my breathing, and to become a better performer. I am confident
enough that I have a performing band and have recorded a demo.

Curriculum:
- Developing Sound and Range
- Breathing Techniques (including Yoga Breathing Techniques)

Three times a year we have a Performance Class. My flute, voice,

Lisa and Ruth Pignotti will perform for the class too.

30 minutes / $35
45 minutes / $45
1 hr./ $50 (the best value)
- Many people ask on the phone if they can drop by to meet
me. I don't mean to be unkind, but this is something I can't
do. If I did this with everyone who asked, there would be no
time for me to teach my enrolled students! What I will agree
to is to try me for one lesson at the rate above. You can't tell
how a teacher works just by meeting anyway. Having a lesson will
show how my methods work and what books I use. I do hope you
understand my reasons.
Absence Policy:
- Notify us as soon as you know that you, your child, or the
transporting parent cannot attend a lesson due to illness.
- In case of a doctor, dental, or other appointments, let us
know as soon as you know. (Obviously, try not to use the time
for such appointments.) The lesson will be re-set if this cannot
be avoided.
In the case of sudden change of plans, let us know as soon as
you can, so that we may re-set the lesson.
- Missed Lessons can be made up within a 4-week period. In
this way the lesson can be made up when the student is well and
needs the extra help. If not made up, there will be the usual
charge for the lesson.
- Major holidays - Christmas, New Years, Easter, Thanksgiving
- there will be no charge or make-up for missed lessons.
- If the instructor is ill or out of town there will be no
charge for lessons missed. Make-ups will be arranged when possible.
I enjoy and appreciate working with all
of our students.
