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

Cathy is a pleasure to work with. I came to Cathy with no singing experience. She always takes the time to answer my questions and to develop a lesson plan specific to my needs. During my time with her she has helped me to expand my vocal range and boost my confidence to perform in public. She even provided me with some CDs with vocal exercises and warmups. I’d definitely recommend Cathy!

I could never sing my favorite songs because of the high notes. I had a hard time reaching them. So I searched for singing lessons near Irvine and found Catherine's Music Studio.
I used to be so embsarrassed singing in front of people. Catherine helped me develop and drastically increased my vocal range. I had been singing the wrong way all this time! Catherine taught me the proper way to sing a high note. She helped me build confidence and overcome my fear of my singing in front of people. She made me reslize that I could do much more than I thought I could. I am also learning how to play chords on the piano to accompany the songs that I am learning to sing now. Thank you so much, Catherine!

I had the absolute pleasure of being taught by Rosita as my Spanish teacher, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the very first lesson, it was evident that Rosita's teaching style was something truly unique and effective.
What sets Rosita apart is her immersive approach to teaching Spanish. Instead of just sticking to the textbook exercises and grammar rules, she encouraged us to engage in actual conversations right from the start. And here's the brilliant part - she conducted these conversational sessions right in her office, where a diverse group of Spanish speakers would gather. This not only created an environment that felt authentic and real, but it also eliminated the fear of miscommunication that often arises when learning a new language.
Rosita's office was like a melting pot of cultures and backgrounds, and I can't express how much this contributed to my learning journey. Having the opportunity to converse with native speakers, fellow learners, and Rosita herself in an informal setting was a game-changer. It gave me the chance to practice what I was learning in a real-world context, and I saw a significant improvement in my conversational skills in a relatively short time.
Rosita's teaching style goes beyond just the language itself; she fosters a sense of community among her students. There was always an open invitation to ask questions, share cultural insights, and even make mistakes without feeling embarrassed. This supportive atmosphere was instrumental in boosting my confidence and encouraging me to step out of my comfort zone.
Moreover, Rosita's passion for teaching was evident in every lesson. She brought in creative activities, engaging resources, and thought-provoking discussions that made each session something to look forward to. Her dedication to helping her students succeed was truly inspiring.
I can confidently say that Rosita is not just a Spanish teacher; she's a language mentor who transforms the learning process into a remarkable journey of growth and self-discovery. If you're looking for a teacher who not only imparts language skills but also opens doors to meaningful connections and cultural understanding, Rosita is the one to go to. My gratitude knows no bounds, and I can't wait to continue my Spanish journey with the foundation she's provided me. ¡Muchas gracias, Rosita! Eres la mejor.

It is not just about hitting the right note, it is about relaxing and really feeling the joy of the music, of the perfect sound. It is an approach that is both unique and effective.

As an artist myself (with a musical background and YEARS of childhood music lessons from a variety of teachers), I can confirm that not every music teacher is an artist, and not every artist is a good teacher. Diane is that rare and precious combination of a stellar musician AND incredible teacher. Our Zoom fatigued 10 year old daughter can't wait to log on to her lesson each week; and she always gets a balance of solid technique, encouragement, and carefully chosen and suggested songs that she is excited to practice. Her own technique has improved more than I thought possible in a short period of time at a young age. 'Miss Diane' deserves more than five stars.
