Our Coaching
Seadragon Sessions are a fully-customized experience based on science, health, intuition and imagination! ♥
Online: At your scheduled time, receive a 1:1 virtual “Seadragon Session” via Zoom designed to support you in your unique vocal and musical aspirations. We specialize in our online teaching methods specifically – and we love that we get to preserve the integrity of a truly personal interaction virtually. We use professional lighting and sound equipment to give you the best virtual experience possible. Super simple and convenient!
Asynchronous: Our “Pendragon Sessions” are for clients who benefit from weekly support and direction on their own schedule. Trade weekly projects via email or Google Doc and receive written feedback within 24-48 hours. This can be as self-directed as you like – whether you have goals in mind, or you prefer to be given assignments! Ideas for self-study: learn and record a new song every week, develop one cover song per month, work through a music theory workbook or course, write a song per week/month, develop and execute a plan to reach a career goal (recording an EP/album, creating your own private studio, auditioning, starting a band, etc) – Click Here for a Sample of Feedback

Payment & Schedule
- Sessions are scheduled once a week at the same time each week. Your payment reserves your standing weekly appointment throughout the month or three month term.
- Payment is made through automatic online billing via Square. A card on file with Seadragon Songhouse is required. Billing takes place on the 27th of each month to prepay for the upcoming month.
- A receipt listing the upcoming month’s session dates will be emailed with your payment confirmation. Please read this thoroughly to make sure we’re on the same page with scheduling!
- The monthly rate is based upon a model of 4 weekly sessions per month. For months in which there are 5 weeks of sessions, the extra session will be added to the invoice at the agreed upon rate. The three month rate is based upon a model of 13 weekly sessions.
- For clients who have signed up at the “Pendragon” level only, a detailed response will be sent once per week and all weekly communications must be used within the month that they are paid for.
Attendance
- Due to demand, the full payment for the month is required regardless of the number of sessions you plan to attend.
- Should you need to cancel for any reason, the studio will contact you with a session plan for an asynchronous Pendragon Session to be completed on your own time. Emergencies will be handled on a case-by-case basis. We do not offer refunds for cancelled appointments.
- If you know well in advance that you’ll miss a session, let us know ASAP so that we may offer it to our “Inner Circle.” If another client purchases your date, a credit will be added to your future invoice. This is not guaranteed.
- In an effort to respect other clients’ schedules, any sessions started late will still end at the pre-arranged time.
- Your time slot is automatically renewed and reserved for you each month. Please inform us in writing by the 15th of the month should you wish to suspend sessions for the upcoming month.
- Sessions are year-round. If you take a break from sessions and do not wish to pay to reserve your weekly appointment, your spot will be given to another client. Availability is limited, but every effort will be made to fit you back into the schedule upon your return.
- If your coach has to cancel a session, a pro-rated credit will be added to a future invoice, or a substitute “special guest” coach will be made available.
