Coaching Fees

Each client is different, so I hesitate to provide hard numbers on a website. Please drop me a note or call me (306.653.3245) and explain your specific situation. I’ll draw up a quote tailored to your needs. Payment must be made before coaching or assessments can begin. The following information will give you some idea of what kinds of fees to expect:

Feedback Only Package – Live Show

I’ll watch you perform in front of an audience for up to an hour, preferably live (in Saskatoon) and we’ll meet for an hour – usually at a different time – so I can give you my assessment. Most people find this to be an education in itself, as I often cover more elements of performance than the artist previously considered to be important.

Fee: $125 CDN (Block booking discount doesn’t apply.) For an additional $75 I’ll write out my detailed assessment and strategy for improvement. You may wish to refer back to this information in the months or even years to come.

Feedback Only Package - DVD/YouTube

For Canadian AND American clients who don’t live near Saskatoon and aren’t going to be touring here, I’ll review up to 45 minutes of your live show on DVD or YouTube. Then, for at least an hour, we’ll review my assessment over Skype (preferred) or  telephone (my long distance package includes USA). As with the live Feedback Only Package, most people find this to be an education in itself, as we usually cover more elements of performance than the artist previously considered to be important.

Fee: $100 CDN (Block booking discount doesn’t apply.) For an additional $75 I’ll write out my detailed assessment and strategy for improvement. You may wish to refer back to this information in the months or even years to come.

Self-Assessment and Feedback Package

With this package you’ll learn the most about yourself, and go much deeper into the thought process behind performing. There are three steps:

  1. First, we’ll meet for an hour to review the objectives of the self-assessment process and what it actually means to “self-assess.” You’ll leave this session with an individual self-assessment questionnaire. (If you’re a band, each person will do an individual questionnaire, but there’ll be an additional questionnaire that you’ll answer together.) These are completed and returned to me prior to our next meeting.
  2. I’ll also see you performin front of an audience, either live (in Saskatoon) or via YouTube or DVD for 45 – 60 minutes, and I’ll take notes.
  3. Then we’ll meet for two hours to review my opinions of both your self-assessment(s) and your show. I’ll propose a strategy based on what I’ve seen and we’ll come to an agreement on how many more coaching sessions will be required.

Fee: $300 (Block booking discount doesn’t apply.) For an additional $75 I’ll write out my detailed assessment and strategy for improvement. You may wish to refer back to this information in the months or even years to come.

Coaching Sessions & Rehearsal Space

Straight coaching — you and me in a space working on your show — is $50 an hour. However, block bookings of at least six hours will be discounted by 5%. All six hours must be paid for in advance, all at one time. You may choose six one-hour lessons, or three two-hour sessions, or combination thereof. If rehearsal space is required I’ll help find it, but the expense is the responsibility of the performer(s).
