Cari Cole Voice & Music is a full service music educational company for singers, indie artists, musicians, songwriters and music professionals to find their voice, build their custom brand and create successful careers in music. Cari is a Celebrity Vocal Coach, Artist Development Expert & New Music Business Mentor. Cari Cole Voice & Music is also home to a professional team of in-house songwriters, music producers, music business & branding experts that serve the independent artists in our programs and community. CCVM also hosts a music publishing company division to help build the careers of artists we work with.

We offer customized services for the independent, signed and unsigned artist ranging from vocal technique training, vocal arranging, customized songwriting guidance, A & R services (developing artists sound and material), branding & career consulting, strategy and career planning. Over the past 30 years, we have helped thousands of artists build their careers. We show our artists the path and system to building a brand and career that people will want to follow.  Each one of our programs handles a specific facet of the industry to build a music brand and career that has true style, power and impact. Artists have stepped out of our programs directly into deals with management, booking agents, licensing and record labels. We are the secret weapon of thousands of independent and emerging artists. Now we can be yours.

Explore all of our signature offerings and choose the level + focus you need. Programs are held online (by Skype and video conferencing) and in person at Cari’s studio in New York.

30+ years. Cari started her voice studio in 1987. She then created the online artist development and career programs in 2007 as the music industry transitioned away from developing artists to provide those services for independent musicians.

Cari has worked with some of the biggest names in entertainment. In addition to a rich roster of emerging and independent artists, she has worked with such legends as Courtney Love and the band Journey, Grammy winners Donald Fagen/Steely Dan and Chrisette Michele and award winning singer-songwriters like Diane Birch, Julian Velard, Rainsford (Rainey Qualley), and finalists & winners from American Idol and The Voice.

Yes. Cari works with artists from all over the world by Skype and video conferencing. Our Programs and Circle are held exclusively online on Zoom video conferencing. We work with artists in the U.S., Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Europe, Africa, Asia and other worldwide locations. For a full menu of services click here.

In most cases it’s not necessary. Cari teaches vocal technique, artist development and career consulting by Skype (or in person in New York.) She also conducts vocal arranging sessions and preps singers and artists for their records over Skype. In some circumstances, producers Skype Cari in to sessions during recording sessions. However, in certain cases she is available to travel given advance notice.

Entry level costs start at $97 and up. All of prices are listed on the Store on our website. To work with Cari privately, prices start around $750 per month with a 3 month minimum. Cole Power Hours are available to new students at $325 per hour (comes with Singers Gift $97 value) Click for more information on pricing here.
Over the past 30 years of working with music artists, Cari has developed a 3 Step System that develops an artist as a viable brand for the industry. Cari is well known in the industry as producing artists on a major label level, without the major label. In each Step of the 3 Step System, there is a Program and a Circle. Each Step of the System is taught online with digital downloads and online classes. Each Program is a series of Modules delivered in a sequence with master worksheets, a private Facebook Group with direct access to Cari and comes with Group Calls hosted by Cari. They are jam-packed with information and have a high impact ratio. Each Circle is a video conferencing course taught by Cari in-person online, with course content, modules, worksheets and a private community Facebook Group. Each Circle has specific benefits and features that suit the content of each course. It is recommended to take the Program first and follow with the Circle in each Step. However, you can take a Program or Circle in any order depending on your availability and schedule. Students get tremendous benefit by following the 3 Step System, but courses can be taken and will benefit in any order. Cari’s courses all teach from the top down, rather than the beginner level up. There is a high bar and an intensity of material in each course for maximum value and benefit. Artists have walked out of our programs into deals with management, booking agents, licensing and record labels.

Programs and Circles (with the exception of Signature Songwriting Circle and the Artist Success Circle) are open to anyone seeking help and information. The Signature Songwriting Circle is for semi-professional or professional songwriters and the Artist Success Circle is open to independent artists with music out in the marketplace. Occasionally Cari or Team Cole will make an exception. For more information about whether you qualify, set up a phone consult with Team Cole here. Step 1 is for any singer, musician, songwriter, music producer or music creator, who wants to improve their voice, performance and recordings and deepen their craft and artistry. Step 2 is for indie music artists, musicians and songwriters who are considering making an album in the next year or so or who want to learn about how to make a breakthrough record. Artists at this step are either on their 1st or 4th or 5th record and are looking to break through. Step 3 is for independent artists who have music out in the marketplace and are looking to grow their music brand and to position themselves in ways to grow their music career more rapidly with strategy and career planning.
Cari selects her private students based on talent, drive and musicianship. She works with a wide range of levels from young emerging artists to seasoned performers and celebrities. For more information about whether you qualify, set up a phone consult with Team Cole here.

You are responsible to pay for the Product in full (including all applicable sales and other taxes or fees) and for providing us with a valid credit card or other payment method. If you have selected a payment plan and you miss a payment, your account status will be changed to “delinquent.” You will immediately lose access to future Modules and Bonuses and your access to all Program content will be revoked 7 days after your payment declines. You will also not receive access to future versions of the Program as it’s released until all payments are made in full.

If your account remains in delinquent status for longer than 60 days, the Company reserves the right to report any delinquent balance owed to a credit reporting bureau and/or collections agency subject to the Company’s sole discretion until the account is caught up and in good standing.

To be clear, CCVM programs are not “pay in part” programs where you can pay only for access to certain Modules and not others. They are full immersion programs and your payment plan is a convenience that we offer so that you can make the price sustainable.

CCVM Refund Policy

At Cari Cole Voice & Music, our mission is to create products and services that support your growth as an artist. We hope you will be satisfied with your purchase and always welcome your feedback!

Our refund policy is as follows:

  • We do not offer refunds on digital products or downloads.
  • Vocal Workshops – You may request a refund to an upcoming Vocal Workshop up to 7 days before the start date of that workshop. Since this program is LIVE with Cari and the Team (not pre-recorded), we do not offer refunds. You have up to 7 days prior to the program start to withdraw. Any payments made up to that point are non-refundable as valuable content is delivered immediately upon registration. 
  • 3 and 6-month courses – We do not offer refunds on our 3 and 6-month courses for many reasons. These programs are LIVE (not automated). Valuable content is given out at registration and space is limited which it would not be fair to others in the community. If you are facing financial hardship, we ask that you contact our team so we can work out a payment plan for you.

If you have any additional questions or would like to request a refund, feel free to contact us.
