Lessons are available in half hour or one hour time slots and can be scheduled weekly at established times during the day. Lessons may be scheduled in accordance to a wait list availability. Studio performances, classes and other group events are scheduled by mutual convenience. These events could incur additional charges for hiring musicians or halls.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My private lesson rates are competitive with ongoing private lessons in the Inland Empire area with a professional instructor. Payment for each lesson is due at the time of the lesson. I accept checks and cash, or you may choose to pay for a minimum of 10 lessons in advance via PayPal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cancellation Policy + Missed Lessons&lt;br /&gt;You must notify me of cancellations at least ONE DAY IN ADVANCE. Notification received by &lt;strong&gt;7 PM the evening before the scheduled lesson&lt;/strong&gt; will be considered one day's advance notice. If a lesson must be missed and you have given the required notice, we can reschedule. Payment is due, however, for missed lessons that have not been canceled within the allotted cancellation time. If a payment is not received for the missed lesson, additional lessons will not be scheduled until payment is received. In addition, you may lose the scheduled time slot. All missed lessons are charged at the full lesson rate. Personal and family emergencies, illness,  local and national emergencies, extraordinary acts of nature, and other immediately related unforeseen and unpredictable events are the exceptions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Call for specific details on musical arrangement rates, or email:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:jimmiedykes@earthlink.net"&gt;jimmiedykes@earthlink.net&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Private Voice Lessons + Studies in Vocal Performance - $25.00 per 1/2 hour&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;with Maria Katindig Dykes&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Want to sing? My goal as a teacher is to free your individual voice. I do so by teaching the foundations of healthy singing in any style, including breathing technique. I have a range of experience working with both children and adults, and I especially enjoy helping beginning singers find their unique approach to the vocal arts. I'm also familiar with many styles of singing, and will work with you to improve those skills that YOU choose. Together, we'll find a healthy way for you to reach your goals. Rates begin at $25.00 for 1/2 hour.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Call for specific details, or email:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:mariadykes@eathlink.net"&gt;mariadykes@eathlink.net&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/300456220052283458-6767506864629582143?l=www.soloplus-music.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.soloplus-music.com/feeds/6767506864629582143/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=300456220052283458&amp;postID=6767506864629582143' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/300456220052283458/posts/default/6767506864629582143'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/300456220052283458/posts/default/6767506864629582143'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.soloplus-music.com/2008/07/rates-for-piano-vocal-instruction.html' title='Rates for Piano + Vocal Instruction + Musical Arrangements'/><author><name>Jimmie Dykes + Maria Katindig-Dykes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04634241897581394723</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-300456220052283458.post-461569967437276282</id><published>2008-07-26T13:00:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-12-08T15:09:08.768-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Solo Plus Music'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Jimmie Dykes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Maria Katindig-Dykes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Jazz'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Manila'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Singapore'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='press'/><title type='text'>International Press Clippings || Our Personal Archive</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Review in Philip Wee's "The Wee Small Hours," &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Singapore Magazine &lt;/span&gt;|| 1982&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_kG99zuzYBT8/SI2VAycMdnI/AAAAAAAAACo/jeFs93kjHvk/s1600-h/Wee+Small+Hours+Review.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;
