Kids' singing lessons cost $50 to $100 per hour or $25 to $35 per half-hour on average. Prices vary depending on the teacher's location, experience, reputation, and whether you're buying one lesson or a multiple-lesson package. Many vocal coaches offer package deals to purchase 2 to 10+ lessons at a time and reduce the cost per lesson. 

Most singing teachers recommend starting children with 30- or 45-minute singing lessons due to their shorter attention spans.

While children can learn to sing at any age, the best age to start lessons for musical fundamentals, enjoyment, and self-expression is 6 to 9 years old. Kids at this age are typically quick to pick up new techniques and to have fun with the process. Since the voice often changes during puberty, many teachers recommend waiting until 12 to 15 years old to begin intense vocal training.

While methods and techniques vary by the singing teacher, most singing lessons for kids involve vocal warmups, teaching proper posture and breathing techniques, and teaching how to enunciate and project the voice. Singing lessons may also include ear training, sight reading fundamentals, and teaching how to prepare for stage performance.

Children are sponges for learning and extremely impressionable. Singing lessons can help them build confidence and allow them to learn a positive form of self-expression. Follow these guidelines to help you choose the best singing lessons for your child or children:

• Look for excellent 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 child.
• 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.
