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.

I really enjoy my piano lessons with Philip. He is very skilled at breaking down and teaching any song I come in with. The environment is very welcoming. My lessons at Brookside Music are a part of my week that I always look forward to.

Michelle Brooks-Thompson is the kind of voice teacher who changes how you see yourself as a singer, not just how you sound. When I started with her, I could hit notes — but I was singing like someone doing karaoke, not like an artist. Michelle completely shifted that.
She doesn’t just train your voice technically (though her ear for pitch, breath support, and tone is incredible). She pushes you to find your own creative instincts — how to interpret a song, add your own phrasing, and actually perform rather than just perform correctly. Every lesson feels like it’s building both skill and artistic identity at the same time.
If you’re looking for a teacher who will help you become a better technical singer AND a more expressive, confident artist, Michelle is exactly who you need. I can’t recommend her highly enough.
