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.

I have taken music classes from David Doerr, and found his knowledge of music theory to be at university level. He has the ability to convey the information in layman terms and teach by example along with a delightful sense of humor that makes learning a great pleasure.

We love our lessons with BCC School of Music! The administration and staff are incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and enthusiastic about what they teach. Such wonderful people! My children love their time there! We can’t imagine going anywhere else!
Centrally located in the upper Kirby area. Comfortable room for parents and siblings to wait (and listen a little!). Tons of easy parking!

I saw a tremendous amount of growth in my time working with Patti. I am now in college but I worked with Patti from 7th grade-senior year of high school and hope to work with her more while I’m home. Patti took time to really grow my voice technically and as someone who typically sings alto she helped me grow my head voice a lot and by sophomore year of high school I was also being asked to sing soprano 2 instead of just alto 1 or alto 2. I would highly recommend Patti to anyone especially if you already have vocal experience but want to be pushed and continue to grow your voice even further.
