Anastasiia K. says, "Classes begin not with “let’s sing” but with the right mood, warm-up, oratory advice. It's much more than just singing, it's immersion in music as a whole, self-confidence. For me it was a breakthrough as a person thanks to this teacher. She is a great singer and an incredible person in general; I went to her lessons as if I were meeting a good friend. I follow her growth as a performer and creative success❤️" Read more

Hi! My name is Mykhailo and I can teach you how to sing any kind of a song with passion and heart. You will amaze people with your voice! I'm independent artist and songwriter. I sing covers in my own versions and perform my original songs. I went to a music school in Ukraine that was based on European standards and techniques. And after to California College of Music in Los Angeles. Also I play piano and teach others how to do it. So if you want to sing and play piano at the same time - you are in the right hands. I teach kids from 5 years old and adults up to any ages and any styles.

John M. says, "Bruce is really well organized. During our 45 minute lessons, I felt like we were always moving forward with relevant material. Although I was hesitant to learn using a metronome, I immediately saw a change in the way I was playing because of it. Exercises were especially challenging for me because, as a kid taking lessons, I hated to practice. With Mr. Holms I gained a very quick understanding of his favorite phrase, “Practicing is playing — Playing is practicing”. I don’t know how I missed that — but I get it now. I had spent about $500 for a keyboard that I couldn’t even “turn on” as a gift to myself. Within minutes he showed me how to work the keyboard and I was playing a simple song by the end of our first lesson. If it wasn’t for his patience and great teaching methods I would still have that keyboard in a box — in the closet. He is always on time (he comes to my home), has a positive attitude, and always listens to my concerns. If he had been my first teacher (when I was a kid), I’d be a pianist today. I am so deeply grateful to Bruce Holms for gifting me with the wish of my life — to be able to play piano!" Read more

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?
