Kimberly T. says, "Sharmila is an awesome instructor for a beginner like myself. She is very patient and keeps our lessons fun while still challenging me to push myself past my limitations. I like the songs that she picks which are suited for the skill I need to practice most. I have learned so much more about the techniques behind singing (and breathing) with Sharmila's expertise and experience. I would highly recommend her!" Read more

My greatest joy is helping people learn how to improvise with their voices! I teach circle singing facilitation and offer performance coaching for vocalists. I love to support people in finding their true voice from a place of play and non-judgement. I enjoy knowing when people feel that freedom and are able to take part in musical activities with friends or in professional settings.

Your Singing Lessons questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Lessons.com.

How much are singing lessons?

Singing lessons cost $50 to $90 per hour on average. Prices vary depending on the teacher's location, experience, reputation, and whether you're taking a private or group lesson. Group lessons typically cost less per person than private lessons, but you may not get as much personal attention and feedback in a group setting.

  • Some singing teachers charge a flat rate for a specified increment of time, typically in 30-minute, 45-minute, or 60-minute increments.
  • Many coaches offer package deals to purchase 2 to 10+ lessons at a time and reduce the cost per lesson.

Do singing lessons work?

Singing lessons won't change your sound completely, but they can help improve your sound by strengthening your vocal cords and improving your range and tone.

What do singing lessons teach you?

Singing lessons involve more than just your voice. A vocal coach will teach you how to hold and improve your posture, which gives your diaphragm optimal room to expand. You also learn proper breathing techniques and how to use your breath to improve your tone. Singing lessons also help you improve your diction—the way you articulate your words when singing—as well as your ability to match specific pitches.

Can adults take singing lessons?

Yes, adults can absolutely take singing lessons. While starting singing lessons at a young age gives you more time to develop your voice, it's never too late to begin learning and improve your singing voice.

How do I find the best singing lessons near me?

Follow these guidelines to help you choose the best singing lessons near you:

  • Check out their reviews on Lessons.com and Google.
  • Get at least three estimates from teachers with similar credentials.
  • Ask for recommendations from others in the local music community.
  • Do a trial meeting or lesson if possible with several teachers to find the best fit for your goals.
  • Ask them about their training and credentials.
  • Ask about what specific methods and techniques they teach.
  • Ask about the specific progress they've made with other students.
  • Make sure their schedule matches your availability.

What questions should I ask when choosing a singing teacher?

Ask these questions to help you choose the best singing teacher for you:

  • How long have you been teaching singing?
  • Can you share any success stories?
  • Do I need to have a good voice already to become a better singer?
  • How long does it typically take to see improvement?
  • Do you offer any package deals?
  • What is your teaching schedule?
  • How long are your singing lessons? 
  • How often should I practice?
  • Do you offer private or group lessons?
  • Where do you teach?
  • Do you offer online lessons using video calling?

Sharmila knew exactly how to make my voice work at its optimal levels. I've always said, "I don't have a very strong voice," but Sharmila brushed my self-assessment aside and just began working with what she said was a beautiful voice. From the beginning I had confidence to let more power come through when I sang. I'd come to Sharmila to prepare to sing in my friend's wedding. The song was challenging for me, but four months later I offered the song to the couple with my whole heart and voice. And I sounded great! I've recommended Sharmila to family members and they love working with her, too.

I really love my voice classes with Vero. She is such a nice person and an incredible teacher. We have great moments during the classes, very funny and sweet. My voice changed so much for the better in only one year, which is something I felt was impossible. The class time with Vero is my favorite moment of the week. We work hard but it feels very relaxed and enjoyable. I would absolutely recommend her!
