Weekend Artist Lab
A professional-level vocal and artist development program designed for adults 30+ who are ready to take their artistry seriously—on their own terms.
The Weekend Artist Lab is a curated, college-level program created specifically for mature singers, creatives, and professionals who want elite training without the weekday time commitment of a full conservatory track. This program is ideal for artists returning to music, career professionals balancing demanding schedules, and vocalists who want real artistic growth—not hobbyist instruction.
Held on weekends in a focused studio environment, the program blends high-level vocal training, performance coaching, recording experience, and artist development into a collaborative, supportive, and professionally driven experience.
Who This Program Is For
This program is designed for:
- Adult singers ages 30 and over (please contact us for exceptions)
- Working professionals, entrepreneurs, and creatives
- Artists returning to music after time away
- Vocalists seeking growth, confidence, and professional polish
- Singers who want structure, accountability, and real results—without weekday conservatory demands
No matter where you’re coming from, this is a space for serious artists who value quality, efficiency, and intention.
Program Focus
Participants in the Weekend Artist Lab receive training and mentorship in:
- Advanced vocal technique
- Performance coaching and artistic presence
- Repertoire development tailored to each artist’s voice and goals
- Songwriting for all levels
- Artist identity, confidence, and creative direction
- Professional feedback in a collaborative, adult-focused environment
This is not a beginner program—and it is not about competition. It is about refinement, clarity, and stepping fully into your voice as an artist.
We are currently offering classes in Performance and Songwriting.

Unlike traditional weekday conservatory programs, the Weekend Artist Lab is intentionally designed to respect adult schedules while maintaining elite standards. Sessions are immersive, focused, and efficient—allowing artists to make meaningful progress without burnout.
Class sizes are limited to ensure:
- Personalized attention
- Elite coaching
- A strong sense of artistic community
Artists leave each session with clear direction, tangible growth, and renewed creative momentum.
