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 had come up with some melodies over the years and wanted help creating fully developed songs out of them. In less than two months, Todd Patnaude has proven himself to be great music writing coach. He has a good sense of what makes songs work. He has offered really helpful suggestions to improve my arrangements, while maintaining most of the original feel of my tunes. I am glad to have met up with him through Lessons.com!

Very Professional, Punctual, Strong Work Ethic, Patient and Easy Going.
Ron was initially hired for voice lessons (voice control/speech) for our son. We knew that we made the right choice after the first visit as Ron suggested that he shift gears from doing voice lessons with our son to working as his speech coach to help our son with his speech impediments and confidence building. Well with five sessions in, we couldn’t be happier. We are seeing major progress with our teenage son and he is very comfortable and happy with what Ron has brought to the table. Ron always goes over and beyond to help. He is constantly presenting better ways to help him while keeping things interesting. We HIGHLY recommend Ron for all the services that he offers!

Toni Marie gave me many options for scheduling my daughter's first lesson. During the lesson she was so friendly and made it really fun for my daughter. She was very knowledgeable and I'm excited about my daughter's opportunity to learn from her. Also - her singing voice is gorgeous!

I’ve been taking lessons with Dylagio Music for almost 3 years. I when I first started I could barely play one chord on the ukulele, but now I’m playing Separate Ways (Journey), and Holiday (Green Day) on the Guitar! I really can’t believe how much I have learned and improved with my amazing teacher Todd who taught me so much, and inspired my love for music. Because of Dylagio Music, my parents don’t have to tell me to go practice, with
out thinking I’ll just pick up my instrument and play for hours for fun! Music is a huge part of my life thanks to Dylagio music and my wonderful teachers there. 😁

I’ve been taking lessons with Anthony for about 6 months now, and my guitar playing has definitely improved. Some lessons we have deep discussions on music theory concepts, other lessons we’ve worked on songs and used them as blueprints to learn different techniques or chords or what have you. For example, recently we’ve been working on “Dust in the Wind” by Kansas, and within a month I’ve gone from never fingerpicking an acoustic to playing the song with a degree of efficiency. Genre-wise, we’ve worked on everything from Megadeth to Louis Armstrong, so he’s definitely versatile. He’s also helped me with writing my own material, and has a great recording setup. His prices are fair, and his schedule is usually pretty flexible if I can’t make a lesson one week he finds time for me. Whether you want to sight read music or play some songs around the campfire or shred like Van Halen, he’s your guy.
