High Note School of the Performing Arts
September 2024- June 2025

SHIR BAZEL

Shir has been singing ever since she can remember.  She sang in ceremonies in middle school and in her high school music program.  She also joined the military air force band and performed all across the country.

Shir has several years of experience as a vocal coach, teaching  at two schools and working with a variety of ages. She has experience in numerous singing styles including musical theatre, pop, and rock.

 

In addition, Shir was trained and instructed by NATS (what is NATS?) She was a member of Aramat Arenheim and learned the LEV method of voice production, which allows her to teach singing in a unique and fun way and focus on developing foundations that are personalized for each student. 

Shir believes in creating a safe environment in which students can feel free to express  themselves and explore their voice and creative passions.  The students are encouraged to explore their interests and musical preferences at every lesson.

GENERAL POLICIES

1. Students missing lessons.

You can count on us to be there for your lesson, and we’re counting on you to come for your scheduled time.  For consistency, from September to June, a permanent day and time is set for your weekly lessons and that time belongs to you and no one else.

There are NO REFUNDS for missed lessons as teachers have pre-committed their time to teach you at your weekly set time.

We realize that due to extenuating circumstances, some lessons will be missed so we have a ONE MAKE-UP LESSON per year policy.  If you do miss a class, you are entitled to one make-up lesson free of charge before the end of classes in June 2025, if you notify us of your absence ahead of time. If a make-up time cannot be agreed upon after the teacher makes 3 attempts to schedule the lesson, the student forfeits their make-up lesson.

If you are a no-show, we will NOT make up your missed lesson.

If you miss more than one lesson, lessons will only be made up at the teacher’s discretion.  Re-scheduling isn’t always possible and it is unfair to expect our teachers to come in again after they were already here when you weren’t.

24 hours notice is required to cancel a make-up lesson.  If you do not show up for your scheduled make up lesson, you forfeit your make-up lesson.

2. Teachers missing lessons.

If the teacher cannot make a lesson, the teacher must make every effort to find a suitable substitute for that lesson. If the teacher cannot find a suitable replacement, the student will be given one of 2 choices:
· Reschedule the lesson for another time
· Receive a credit towards a future lesson
