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.

Renata is an absolutely amazing piano teacher. She’s so patient and intuitive with me (I’m an adult student with zero experience) and she has totally helped me put my insecurities about starting an instrument in my 30’s aside. She’s actually made me feel confident that I can achieve my goals. I am excited to see all I’ll continue to learn with her leading the way!

Jan is strict but a lot of fun, and I'm learning way faster than I expected to. As long as you practice the things she tells you to practice every week, you'll have a great experience

Kiki made me feel very comfortable and relaxed. I never sing in front of anyone, not even my parents, so this was very new to me. But she made everything super easy and fun! I'm excited to continue my journey with her.

I started taking piano lessons from Rico about ten months ago. I had zero music training and was looking for learning something new and enjoy music better, although I was not even sure it was possible to learn piano at my age (>55). Rico is patient, flexible, and caters his teaching and the pace to my level and schedule. Rico teaches not just how, but also why and also from the perspective of enjoying music. We even tried to do some voice training, which I would never have thought of trying. I have enjoyed the entire process, from lessons, to practicing myself, and to seeing myself making process. Now I am confident that I can really learn piano or even sing from Rico, and with practice, to a level that I would enjoy and look at music completely differently from when I started. And I look forward to every lesson.
