Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Lessons.
How much do singing lessons for kids cost?
Kids' singing lessons cost$50 to $90 per hour or $30 to $45 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.
What is the best age to start singing lessons for kids?
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.
