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.

I recently had the pleasure of collaborating as pianist for Peter Mark's master class for young Opera singers and found him to be highly effective in his ability to elicit the best possible results from each of the participants. Due to his many years of professional experience in the world of Opera, Peter knows exactly what is needed to be heard as far as vocal production and style in the widest possible variety of repertoire, but more importantly, through his unique methods is able to quickly achieve the desired results from each of the singers.

While working as a professional Broadway performer I had the honor to train with Julia. The sessions were very challenging at first because I needed to retrain my breath, relax facial muscles and work on everything from creating sound. Julia's detail to technique allowed me to blossom and find my authentic voice. Her approach to singing is fun but spiritual at the same time. In all my years of vocal training, Julia was by far the most inspiring and liberating teacher I had. Take a risk -you just might find your voice.

I am a graduate from Berklee school of music with a master in jazz studies.
I studied music in an academic setting my entire life.
But then, I discovered that I was thought the fast way.
The way to just get a gig.
I then through a friend discovered joe Solomon.
Joe’s teaching is the way to internalize the language of music.
It’s the way to have a voice and a vocabulary.
Not only to get a gig but to feel and experience music.
Joe changed my way of seen music forever.
He is an amazing musician as well as an amazing human been.
If you are serious about Music you must have lessons with Mr. Solomon.
He will change your life.

I’ve been a student with Alison for the past 9yrs. She has a truly unique way of teaching vocal technique by opening your body and letting go of your mind. Music has the power to heal and this is a true representation of it. She has gotten me through 2 horrible bouts of laryngitis and a vocal change, never giving up that my voice would come Back and stronger. She is a pusher with Flair and compassion.

As one of her former vocal students, I completely recommend Jenna. Her lessons were extremely beneficial in my vocal development. She is an amazingly talented and extraordinarily gifted teacher. Anybody would be very lucky to have Jenna as their vocal instructor.
