Drop-in lessons, referred to as 'clinician lessons' for the remainder of this page, are a great option for those who are working toward a specific short-term project such as an audition or performance, adults with limited availability, or students of a skill level such that they only need occasional check-ins.
Clinician lessons are the same rate for up to six students at a time, making them a cost-effective choice for small groups of students who are working on the same project. Examples: students wanting to be in a talent show, showcase, or scholarship performance together; cast mates who want to improve scenes, songs, or choreography for the show they are in; students that are around the same music theory level who would like to study together.
Lesson Topics
Please visit the Weekly Lessons page for a breakdown of all available lesson topics.
How to Schedule
This type of lesson can be anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours in length depending on the topic and goals of the student. To schedule a lesson, email cmoultonstudio@gmail.com and include as much detail as possible such as age of student(s), lesson topic needed, urgency (how far off is the audition, performance, quiz), etc.
Clinician lessons are offered all year. The primary day available is Tuesday afternoons and evenings, with Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays available on a week-by-week basis.
Important Note: You are paying for the specific time block you sign up for, not the amount of time. If you arrive 15 minutes late for a 30 minute lesson, then your lesson will only be 15 minutes long, ending at the originally scheduled time. If the instructor has availability, you may choose to pay an additional amount to continue the lesson for the originally scheduled length of time.
Location
Lessons are held at The Strand on the Marietta Square (117 North Park Sq., Marietta) and my home (a couple of minutes past 1410 Dura Dr. SW, Marietta, GA 30008), depending on the lesson day.
Strand Details: The box office is not typically open during lesson times, so please wait at the front doors. If another employee lets you into the building, wait in the lobby as the space the lesson will occur in changes based on availability and lesson needs.
Home Details: Please park in the driveway or in the street to the right of the driveway. Students should be ready on the front bench a couple of minutes before the lesson start time. During the lesson, parents and siblings are welcome to play in the front yard, sit on the front porch, or even take their dog for a walk around the neighborhood. Shoes should be removed upon entry. There are pets on the premises.
Payment
$30 per 30 minutes, cash. $40 per 30 minutes, check or digital currency. Clinician students may pay at each lesson or for the total that we schedule in advance. Bartering may also be an option.
If you cancel a lesson, or are a no-show, you still owe for the lesson. If the instructor cancels and you had already paid for the lesson, your payment will be refunded.
The following documents are due at the start of the first lesson. Hard copies are available at the lesson for you to sign, if preferred.
