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.

Reviews for Wellington singing classes
Recent success stories from people in the Wellington area.
Jo N.
Melissa is a brilliant vocal teacher and coach.
She is very unique in her field.
She is, in my long experience, RARE.
A teacher who not only can work with all variety of musical styles and vocal preferences, she goes deeper in her coaching in helping many with “old habits, old tapes, old negative thoughts “ that deter and destroy vocalists in their desires and dreams to be good singers and performers.
She has worked patiently with me for almost three years. I could not say enough about what she has done for me. In every lesson, she has been supportive, hard working and creative in knowing other avenues to work with the voice when it’s not working for the singer. She is dedicated and committed.
She is all about her students and their well being.
Melissa believes in hard work, but she does not cloud hard work with also, having fun!
As she says, “...if you are singing and not having fun, then you are not singing! Singing is fun!”
She is an extremely gifted, experienced, educated, talented woman.
I look forward to just how high up the scale
she IS going to take me! (Two octave E flat -above middle C for now!) 😉

I am extremely pleased wth my sons results. After his sessions with Dr. Dubler, he is a much more confident young man! He had taken the test twice and did not perform well at all. We just received his results and were amazed at his success. My son increased reading by over 160 points and math by 100 points. We are thrilled. I can't say enough about the services received and the life long effects it will have on my son . Thanks for everything!
