Q&A

This week’s blog post answers several questions I’ve been asked lately about the MaJoVTA, the website roll-out and how the website works. Here goes!

  1. Why is it called The Mark Johnson Vocal Training Academy? Isn’t this just … voice lessons?

First, I’ll answer with a question: What’s your vision for who you want to become as a performer?

Developing your ability to sing at an advanced level is something that’s either a meaningful part of your life (vocal training), or it’s just another thing that you do (voice lessons).

Which is it?

Everyone who joins The Academy is strongly encouraged to make Vocal Training a part of their lives.

With my guidance (and using the website) you’ll:

  • Create and follow a Daily Vocal Regimen;
  • Commit to at least two (2) weekly, individual practice sessions; and
  • Consciously Seek regular performing opportunities.

Sure, life happens, and sometimes your Regimen gets modified. But you’re committed and you do your best. You strive for excellence. Anything else is just … voice lessons.

   2) Why is there a subscription cost to the website?

It’s about accessibility. That your vocal training costs and the website’s training material are affordable is important to us. That’s why we switched recently from charging for single sessions to a “Term”-based model.

With term-based training, when you commit to pay in advance for 8 sessions you receive the 9th free (Summer). When you commit to pay in advance  for 14 sessions you receive the 15th and 16th free (Fall and Spring).

  • Your commitment shows that Vocal Training is in fact part of your life;
  • Paying monthly helps keep the cost of Vocal Training accessible;
  • Over time, the free sessions you receive offset the cost of the website subscription.

   3) How Do We Use The Website?

Once you’ve completed enrollment (you have completed enrollment…yes?), return to the site anytime and click “Login.”

Do the following:

  • Navigate to the “Train” tab to practice vocal exercises and enhance your skills training;
  • Navigate to the “Learn” tab to gain knowledge and information you need to train effectively;
  • Use the “Resources” tab to find other supporting documents for training;
  • Use the “Library” tab to find music, piano tracks and other useful material.

Bottom Line:

Your commitment  to Vocal Training at The Mark Johnson Vocal Training Academy means you follow a complete, vocal training/mental conditioning Course of Study. Right – it’s not just … voice lessons.

So, MaJoVTA Members, I’ll ask once more:

What’s your vision for who you want to become as a performer?
