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 love working with Tiffany! She has such a bright, bubbly personality that really shines through the way she supports her students and fellow instructors. I appreciate how she’s pushed me to grow vocally during our 1:1 sessions, and she’s helped me reconnect with piano so I could work on my playing skills too. She offers lots of workshop/training opportunities for various performance skills, and also hosts many virtual concerts throughout the year so students have opportunities to perform even though we may be spread out. If you’re looking for a place to start, reach out to Tiffany!

I’ve been taking online voice coaching lessons with Jennie, and I can confidently say it has been an amazing experience. Jennie’s teaching style is both encouraging and insightful, making each lesson enjoyable and productive. She’s incredibly patient and takes the time to tailor each session to my specific needs, helping me build my vocal skills at my own pace. Her feedback is always constructive, and I can feel noticeable improvements in my voice after just a few lessons. Jennie is not only a fantastic coach but also a great motivator who genuinely cares about her students' progress. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to improve their voice, whether you're a beginner or more advanced!

Malena is patient, encouraging, flexible, generous, and an inspiration. She is everything you could ever ask for in a piano teacher. Every time I come across a lesson, song, or technique that feels frustrating or confusing, she finds an innovative way to tackle it or explain it. I took lessons when I was a kid and wanted to get back into piano for 14 years, but I found it extremely difficult to find anyone who offered lessons outside of the standard 9-5 work week for a reasonable rate. Not only does Malena offer flexible times for lessons, but her rates are totally feasible, and she's even more flexible now with the option of video lessons. I've grown as a piano player by leaps and bounds in the last year alone, and have had wonderfully positive experiences with our showcase recitals (even with my immense stage fright). I adore Malena and can't recommend her enough.

My daughter and I have been working with Ben for well over a year now, learning guitar, and I couldn't be happier with the experience.
Ben has a wealth of knowledge and experience, which he has a real passion to share with us. This goes a long way towards feeling truly invested in the learning process, especially in the beginning, where everything is new and difficult.
He offers motivation for not only me, but more importantly for my 11-year-old daughter, who has confidence issues at times. His patience during the sessions where she is less than attentive is sincerely impressive.
Ben will adjust his lessons on the fly, if needed, to accommodate our needs. If there is a song that I'm interested in learning, he'll switch to that, quickly figure out what it takes to play it, and jump right into teaching us the song. He'll even make adjustments to the song to fit my experience level, allowing me to play a song, even if I may not be at the technical level that the song actually requires.
He is also extremely flexible on the days where we might need to shift our schedule or even cancel.
Since we started taking lessons from Ben, we've gone from complete novices, to being able to muddle through a song, to actually being able to play over a dozen songs completely, on our own.
If you are looking to take lessons that will motivate you to really enjoy the process of learning guitar, I highly recommend him as your instructor.
