The Journey

Pad by pad.

Six 90-day Seasons over 18 months. Each one ends in a tangible artifact — first recording, performance video, Studio Day, Pond Showcase, original demo, debut single. You commit one Season at a time, never a year up front.

Artist Frog

Artist & Collaborator

Past Golden Frog, you've crossed the line from student to collaborator. Paid sessions, real-world collabs, and a track on the studio's compilation release.

  • Original songwriting and production
  • Paid recording sessions at Lewis's studio
  • Compilation release feature

Every singer starts at Egg with a free trial lesson. Tiers are earned — your monthly tuition stays the same as you progress.

How promotions work

Two things, not one.

Both have to be met before you hop to the next pad.

Time floor

Each tier is a full 90-day Season — three months of real work before you hop to the next pad. It’s what protects against rushing through the foundations and burning out.

Skill checkpoint

A specific, measurable thing you can do — first song learned start to finish, three songs in repertoire, sight-read a piece. Lewis marks it off in your dashboard when it’s real.

You promote when both are met. Twice-a-week students typically hit the skill checkpoint before the time floor — they promote the moment they’re ready.
