1Choose Your Membership Why a membership? Every PCC student holds an active membership. Basic ($25/mo) covers operating costs and gives you scheduling plus limited online resources. Full unlocks the entire PCC world, and the longer your term, the lower your monthly rate.

All memberships require a valid credit-card authorization and are billed monthly through the full term.

Defaulting on payments or membership terms results in loss of lessons as outlined herein.
If the Client utilizes more private-lesson hours than the contracted total, the prorated amount will be rolled into a new agreement. Clients who exceed lesson allotments do not qualify for exit until all outstanding balances are paid in full.
This contract may not be altered or downgraded, but may be upgraded at any time at the Client's request, at which point a new agreement will be made and signed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything included, explained. Tap any question to expand.

What exactly does FULL membership include?+

Full membership opens every door at PCC. Tap any item to see what it means for your training:

PCC Music Library
Your complete study library. Three wings:
How do lesson hours work? (Your Time Bank)+
Your time bank

When you purchase a lesson package, you are buying a bank of coaching time — not a fixed weekly appointment.

Sessions can be 30, 45, 60, or 90 minutes, 2 or 2½ hours, or even 3-hour-plus intensives — whatever the work in front of you calls for. A quick brush-up before an audition might take 30 minutes; a recording session or role preparation might run half a day. Your hours simply draw down as you use them.

Use your bank flexibly, at your own pace, without any pressure — book the session length you need, when you need it, for as long as your membership is active.

How does Asynchronous Coaching work?+
Asynchronous coaching

This is the real deal of the whole membership: an attentive coach in your corner every day, not just at lesson time. You receive assignments and exercises, submit recordings by video or audio — as easy as talking to your phone — and get one-on-one feedback just as in a lesson, in bite-sized delayed snippets back and forth instead of one long session. It is (unlimited).

Many students build a full vocal education through Asynchronous Coaching alone — it is a complete training path in its own right.

Daily monitored practice assignments keep you accountable between lessons, and everything lives in your personal Google Drive, communicated through your choice of email or WhatsApp. Tap Learn More in the membership list above for the full picture.

What is PCC Salon?+
PCC Salon performance

PCC Salon is our multi-discipline Vocal Performance and Artists' Forum, the beating heart of the PCC community, taught by Patrick Michael Wickham.

Gathering dates, times, and location are announced directly to members as each session is scheduled.

At each Salon, students take the floor with whatever they are building: songs in progress, vocal works, original lyrics and songs, acting monologues and scenes, and more. It is a safe public forum: a place to test material in front of a warm room before you test it in front of the world. Salon is (unlimited) for Full members.

What is the PCC Music Library?+
Sheet music

The PCC Music Library is your complete study library, in three wings:

  • Sheet Music Library — all of your sheet music is included, engraved and delivered in any key you need, ready for auditions, gigs, and practice.
  • Audio Library — an extensive, moldable karaoke library where nearly any song can be adjusted in key and tempo, powered by STEM4RGE, PCC's proprietary software that removes or isolates the vocal on famous high-resolution tracks.
  • Guide Tracks — practice tracks of vocals-only and/or piano melodies of the songs you are working on.

The PCC Exercise Library — the full warm-ups and vocal exercise database — is a separate Full-membership perk alongside the Music Library.

What events and workshops does PCC run?+
PCC holiday event

PCC's performance calendar runs all year:

  • Two major events annually — each December and June — featuring student recitals and workshops.
  • Love Stinks — our February open mic, timed for the season of heartbreak.
  • Gender Bender — our April Fools open mic: sing the songbook you're not "supposed" to.
Where do in-person lessons happen?+
In-person coaching

In-person training takes place at PCC's private Manhattan studio: an intimate, luxurious space with a grand piano.

The exact location is provided when your lesson is scheduled.

In-person lessons are taught by Mr. Wickham only, include Premium Training, and carry a +$75/hr surcharge that covers studio costs.

How do monthly charges work?+
Tuition
  • Memberships — billed monthly by card authorization for the term of your contract: $25–$125 per month depending on type and term. After your original term, membership renews in twelve-month periods at your original rate, billed monthly, until you complete an Exit Interview.
  • Lessons — a separate, optional add-on. Financed lesson payments spread in equal monthly installments on your plan's payment schedule, within your membership term. Single hours are pay-in-full; financing begins with the 6-hour package.
What if I only want lessons?+
Vocal training

Every PCC student holds an active membership — a Basic membership ($25/mo) is required for ongoing study. It covers account maintenance: scheduling, billing, and the upkeep of your lesson credits.

Your lesson package is a separate purchase on top of that, and any membership may finance packages of 6 hours and up — on Basic, for up to as many months as the package holds hours. Full membership is optional but unlocks the library, coaching, Salon, events, and extended financing options across longer schedules.

How do up-front payment discounts work?+
Up-front payment

Paying a private-lesson package in full earns an up-front discount by payment method:

  • Credit card — 5% off
  • Check or Zelle — 10% off
  • Cash — 15% off

The discount applies to the balance after any tuition credit on your account.

Can I pause my membership?+
Membership pause

Yes. Members in good standing may take a leave of absence of up to 3 total months per contract term.

  • A flat $50 reinstatement fee applies when you resume, and your contract automatically extends by the number of months paused.
  • At most one leave month may fall within June, July, or August.
  • Any leave longer than one month requires a minimum of two months prior notice.
Can I cancel my membership?+
Cancel membership

Enrollment runs for your contracted term, and afterward renews in twelve-month periods at your original rate. To end enrollment you must:

  • Be in good standing (no outstanding balance, no remaining unpaid lessons).
  • Request an Exit Interview link from administration and complete it a minimum of three (3) months prior to the end of your current period.

A premature cancellation fee equal to the prorated rate of the original membership applies to any membership ended before the agreement is fulfilled. Unused lessons remain usable only while a membership is active.

What if I miss a payment?+
PCC artist in character
  • Missed payments carry a $25 per month fee, and these accrue month over month.
  • After 30 days, a missed payment automatically pauses your account. Once payment is received, a reinstatement fee equal to the missed months plus $50 applies.

Note the difference from a leave of absence: a planned pause carries a flat $50 fee and extends your contract, while missed-payment fees accrue.

What if I cancel before using all my lessons?+
Unused lessons

Contracts terminated before fulfillment result in the loss of all outstanding private-lesson credits, along with access to online resources and asynchronous coaching. Lesson hours are usable only while a membership is active; a lapsed membership may be reinstated (with a $50 fee) to access remaining hours. Protect your investment — finish your term.

What if I buy in-person lessons and convert them to online?+
Converting lessons

You may convert remaining in-person hours to online at any time. The in-person surcharge on your unused hours converts to additional lesson credit at your current package rate — your investment is never lost, it simply becomes more training.

What if I use up my lessons before my membership term ends?+
PCC performer

Your membership continues to the end of its term, and that's a good thing. As long as you are in good standing you keep full access to all online resources, asynchronous coaching, PCC Salon, and every event and workshop, whether or not lessons remain on your account.
