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 am a parent of a talented, young singer who studied with Jay for years. In fact, I would say Jay is one of the best vocal teachers I have ever met. He has experience learning from one of the world's great sopranos, Ellen Faull, who has given him a pedagogy to encourage singers, work on technique, pitch, theory, Italian, French, and German singing, reading music, interpretation - you name it. Jay is the best. While my daughter was studying with Jay, she won NATS in the Musical Theater category. My daughter was also was third place in both musical theater and opera for her age group in the national Hal Leonard competition. This is a testament to Jay's great vocal teaching technique. She has continued to study with Jay, and she always learns something new and improves even after one lesson.
