Bode says, "Liz is my 14 yr. old daughter's vocal coach and I cannot say enough about what a wonderful experience it has been! She has helped my daughter improve her vocal strength and quality and taught her breath control. She's teaching her how to mix her head voice and chest voice for smoother transitions. She has helped her find more power behind her voice and a new level of control and ease. She has challenged her and brought her voice to a beautiful new level! Liz helps my daughter with music for her H.S. mixed chorus and jury tests, for which she has received high recognitions. She also helps her prepare for musical theatre auditions and other school performances. She encourages her to bring in music that is special to her or just fun pieces she wants to attempt. She helps her find her strengths and weaknesses and really pushes her to go further than she thinks possible. Liz has a warm and wonderful personality which has really made my daughter feel comfortable, especially when singing songs that require her to be vulnerable and connect to her emotions. She runs an extremely professional studio and the payment, scheduling, and communication process is easy and efficient. Liz is an EXCELLENT teacher and I highly recommend her !" Read more

Bill P. says, "Jonathan is an excellent and highly knowledgeable teacher, and he immediately determined the areas where I needed the most work after assessing my skill set. I had played for decades, but developed only a very shallow understanding of notation, nuance, dynamics, and pedaling. Within a couple years, my technique and interest level in all things related to the piano increased dramatically. A great attribute of his program is the use of online lessons, which Jonathan refined during the Covid lockdowns - although skeptical at first, I found that the lessons through Zoom were almost as beneficial as actually being in his studio. He has developed unique teaching tools and applies them very effectively. Highly recommended for all levels of piano students. Bill P. " Read more

I combine American/European method books to customize lessons based on student goals. Not every student wants to be a virtuoso and once we explore each student's personal goals for studying piano or voice, I customize a lesson plan to achieve those goals with visible results. Meeting people from all walks of life with a shared passion for Music!

Katie D. says, "Mrs. Shim is a talented teacher. Our two sons, who are 7 and 9, take piano lessons with her and both enjoy working with her. She is patient, but also challenges the kids as musicians and takes the time to understand their musical strengths and preferences, so that they enjoy the process. Although both of our kids are similar In age, they have very different learning styles and likes. Mrs. Shim manages to keep them both engaged and moving forward. Her customized approach for each child focusing on performance but also joy makes music a great success in our family!" Read more

Your Singing Lessons questions, answered

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.

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?

I started taking lessons with Liz at the start of my junior year. That year was the most transformative year for my voice. Everything about my singing had become so much better and my friends started saying they’ve never heard me sing like that. Liz knows exactly what to fix and how to fix it. I’ve never had a voice teacher that I’ve worked better with. She knows so well how to communicate and work with you through any issue. The thing that I appreciate most is how supportive she is. She has helped me be so much more confident in my singing and I don’t know if anyone else could have done that. I’ve never felt insecure or scared around her she is just such a warm presence. If anyone asks me about a recommendation for a voice teacher, I would recommend her without question.

My first interview with Jonathan went well, my granddaughter responded well to him. Jonathan took the time to explain how he plans to teach her, this I found to be very professional.

Chris Oh is a very gifted guitar teacher. My son has learned so much from him and enjoys coming to his lesson every week and even enjoys practicing! The Dream School is a wonderful place to take lessons and the owners are a pleasure to work with. The recitals they have for the students are a perfect way to encourage playing in front of a group. Highly recommend the Dream School.
