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?

Devon J. says, "My daughter and I have been working with Ben for well over a year now, learning guitar, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Ben has a wealth of knowledge and experience, which he has a real passion to share with us. This goes a long way towards feeling truly invested in the learning process, especially in the beginning, where everything is new and difficult. He offers motivation for not only me, but more importantly for my 11-year-old daughter, who has confidence issues at times. His patience during the sessions where she is less than attentive is sincerely impressive. Ben will adjust his lessons on the fly, if needed, to accommodate our needs. If there is a song that I'm interested in learning, he'll switch to that, quickly figure out what it takes to play it, and jump right into teaching us the song. He'll even make adjustments to the song to fit my experience level, allowing me to play a song, even if I may not be at the technical level that the song actually requires. He is also extremely flexible on the days where we might need to shift our schedule or even cancel. Since we started taking lessons from Ben, we've gone from complete novices, to being able to muddle through a song, to actually being able to play over a dozen songs completely, on our own. If you are looking to take lessons that will motivate you to really enjoy the process of learning guitar, I highly recommend him as your instructor." Read more

Nancy is truly a once-in-a-lifetime master teacher. She is endlessly perceptive, positive, and clear. After our sessions, my voice has made huge improvements-- and I've also found greater pleasure in using it and deeper understanding of how the voice works. I've learned such a tremendous amount from her as a teacher, and from her presence as a human being.

Positive energy matched with professional experiences and expertise make Larry an amazing vocal coach and mentor! Our children come out of lessons more excited than they went in and always come away with a renewed belief in their abilities and a greater love of voice and theater. We feel blessed to have Larry in our lives!
