Pricing Plans

Individual Full Program Price: $250

Individual Payment Plan: Monthly payment of $50/month from August to December

Studio Full Program Price: $550

Studio option: A university can register its entire studio for $550 total, or groups of 3 or more students can register for the studio rate.

That means:

  • 3 students = $183.33/person

  • 4 students = $137.50/person

  • 5 students = $110/person

  • 10 students = $55/person

Testimonials

  • “As a freshman, I felt like I was drowning in expectations. The blueprint program helped me not only stay afloat but actually enjoy my first semester. The weekly check-ins were so incredibly helpful. I seriously don’t know how I would’ve handled the semester without this group.”

    - Freshman Music Major

  • “I used to beat myself up every time I fell short of a goal. This group taught me how to celebrate wins and how to be kind to myself when things didn’t go perfectly. The mental fitness tools were a game changer for how I practice and perform.”

    - Sophomore Performance Major

  • “Before this, my mom was still helping me plan my week. This semester I learned how to structure my own time in a way that felt good and worked.”

    Freshman Music Ed Major

  • "The weekly Zooms helped me set intentions that actually made sense for me, and the accountability buddy system kept me on track without guilt. It’s like what I always wished studio class could be.”

    -Grad Performance Student

  • “I didn’t realize how isolated I’d been until I joined the blueprint program. Having a space where I could connect with other people was something I didn’t even know I needed. Also, I loved the weekly checkins. The guided meditaitons were the best!”

    -Junior Music Ed Major

  • “What made this group different was the energy of everyone wanting to grow... It felt like the kind of support I wish school actually offered.”
