Q: 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.

It doesn't matter if you are a beginner or a professional, she works wonders with connecting your sound with your body and brings out your entire voice. As a music teacher, I take a lot of her techniques and apply them in my music classes with my middle school singers, proper technique is so important, especially with young singers." Read more

Hi! I teach private lessons in acting, singing, guitar, piano, violin, cello, and bass. I love giving private students the tools to reach their goals and I like seeing the joy in their faces when they accomplish something new. I hold my students to high standards and I set high expectations.

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.

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?

Great!! I've learned a lot and willing to continue my lessons with them.

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.

All the lessons were well taught with high confidence and understanding. Jenna is a great singer and that shows in her lessons, and that is really inspiring. On top of that she is one of the nicest people you'll meet and it really makes it easy to be vulnerable so that all your little problems can be addressed.

Jan is an INCREDIBLE teacher! I've been taking vocal lessons for over 10 years and literally have never had a better coach!

I am so glad we found Michelle of Take Note Lessons. We have a 5th grader and 8th grader who both actively enjoy piano lessons and are both progressing well. Michelle adapts her teaching style to fit students' personalities - we see this demonstrated weekly as our girls certainly have their individual quirks....and nothing seems to phase her! She's open and warm enough that they both feel they can talk to her and yet they quickly buckle down to work too. Strongly recommend!
