Yes — your payment is 100% secure. We use Square Appointments, a trusted and widely used platform that protects your credit card information with industry-standard encryption and PCI compliance (the same level of security used by major retailers).

We recommend using the St. James Parking Garage, located at 250 Lafayette St, Newark, NJ 07105.
Street parking is available, but please note that this is a busy area and spots can be limited — arriving early is a good idea.
To keep things running smoothly, sessions aren’t confirmed until payment is received — we can’t hold time slots without it.
If you prefer to pay in cash, no problem! Just stop by the studio on Thursdays between 3–7 PM to pay in advance.
We totally get wanting to use cash — just make sure to arrange it at least one day before your session so we can lock it in for you.
Sessions start and end at the time you booked. We need to stay on schedule out of fairness to other clients.
It’s the client’s responsibility to arrive on time. While we’ll always do our best to help you get the most out of your session, we can’t extend time past your scheduled end.
You can reschedule your session as long as you notify us at least 24 hours in advance.
Please note: We do not offer cancellations for a refund. All payments are non-refundable, so make sure you’re available before booking.
If you need to reschedule, just reach out and we’ll help you find a new time.
No — all payments are non-refundable, regardless of the reason. We encourage clients to double-check their availability before booking and to give us at least 24 hours’ notice if they need to reschedule.
Yes — you’re welcome to bring guests, but please keep it limited to a maximum of 5 people total in the room (including yourself and the engineer).
This helps ensure everyone is comfortable and the session stays focused. If you’re planning a group session or have special needs, feel free to contact us in advance.
Yes — all of our services are available online, except for vocal recording. If you’re not local and need help recording vocals, we can assist in finding a reliable studio near you and coordinate the session as part of your project.
You don’t need to be in Newark to work with us — we collaborate with clients from anywhere.
Yes — we offer multi-session discounts for all our services.
Whether you’re planning a series of lessons, recurring bookings, or long-term projects, we can create a custom pricing plan to help you save.

While we no longer offer in-person studio tours, we do provide video call consultations for anyone who wants to learn more before booking.
