Private Lessons
At The Swain Studio, our instructors share similar teaching philosophies, are all highly skilled professionals, have a variety of specialties, and are all personally vetted by studio owner, Justin T. Swain.
Whether you’re looking to improve your singing or speaking voice, learn to play an instrument, audition for a collegiate program in voice or theater, brush up your foreign language diction for Solo & Ensemble, become a confident musician through studies in music theory, or just explore a new hobby, we’re excited to work with you.

Studio Policies
Lesson tuition is paid month-to-month on the first of each month. In the instance of enrolling in lessons after the first, billing is prorated for the remainder of the month. Repeated late payments may result in a student being dismissed from the studio.
There is a one-time registration fee of $35 at the start of lessons per student. Re-registration fees do not apply for students returning within six months of unenrolling for any reason.
When it’s time to withdraw from lessons, we require for an advanced notice of two weeks. We don’t believe in locking students into longterm commitments. Email the studio at lessons@theswainstudio.com to give your two-week notice.
In the event that an instructor needs to miss a lesson for any reason, a make-up credit will be applied to the student account. Make-up credits rollover automatically into the next tuition period and do not expire until a student withdraws from lessons.
If a student must miss a lesson for any reason, a make-up credit will be issued to the student’s account if the cancellation takes place with 24 hours notice.
Make-up credits expire automatically 45 days after a missed lesson. It is up to the student to coordinate a make-up lesson with their instructor based on mutual availability.
Lessons canceled with less than 24 hours notice are forfeited, may not be rescheduled, and will not be refunded. All lesson cancellations and make-up lessons must be completed online in the scheduling website.
We do not offer refunds for missed or unused lessons.
Students under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult within the facility at all times. No minors may be left unattended under any circumstances.
Lesson Pricing
Pricing is based on a tiered scale commensurate with instructor teaching experience, degrees earned, professional titles held (academic, K12), certifications, and specialization. Instructors receive the vast majority of lesson tuition paid to the studio each month.

Associate Instructors
30-Minute Lessons $170/mo

Note: Unlike most fine arts schools, the vast majority of lesson tuition is paid directly to each instructor ensuring compensation honors their wealth of knowledge and expertise. For our instructors, compensation earned is significantly higher than that of collegiate adjunct pay.
