Frequently Asked Questions

  • Introduction

    Singing lessons teach individuals of all ages and skill levels how to express their voices musically. Vocal coaches typically provide one-one-one lessons and small group sessions, and chorale directors work with large groups of singers of varying vocal ranges. Voice lessons help seasoned singers build their ranges and strengthen their voices, and they provide beginning singers with the basic tools needed to carry tunes and work up through the vocal scales.


    Vocal lessons consist of voice warm-ups, breath work, and song rehearsals for performances and auditions. Voice lessons that teach speech-level singing techniques also include some forms of speech therapy, and some coaches stick to specific genres or types of singing, such as musical theater and opera.

  • What do singing lessons do?

    Singing lessons help new and seasoned singers and performers expand their vocal ranges, learn new singing methods, and build overall confidence when performing in front of audiences. Taking lessons from a professional coach also helps students learn proper enunciation, tone, and singing techniques to prevent vocal strain.

  • What do you learn in voice lessons?

    In voice lessons, students learn how to sing a variety of genres in multiple vocal ranges. Vocal coaches help singers build confidence in their voices and the art of performing. Coursework can vary, but singing lessons generally include practicing scales, learning vocal exercises, and rehearsing and performing complete songs.

  • What are singing lessons like?

    While the subject matter of singing lessons can vary, in general, a singing lesson consists of a student meeting with a teacher and performing vocal exercises based on the teacher's assessment of the student's voice. During a singing lesson, a student may also practice performance pieces under the guidance of the teacher or coach.

  • How do voice lessons work?

    During voice lessons, students typically start the session with their coach with vocal warm-ups such as scales, lip trills where the lips are pursed while sound comes out, and speaking exercises to open up the voice. If a student has a song they need to rehearse, they may work on it with their coach during some point of the session.

  • What age should someone start voice lessons?

    On average, most children are considered mature enough to take vocal lessons around age 7. However, children as young as toddlers can take music and voice lessons. Children's voice lessons often focus on simple vocal exercises and techniques, and vocal coaches also help children prepare for auditions where singing is required.

  • Can adults take singing lessons?

    Adults of all ages can take singing lessons. Singing lesson options for adults include private, one-on-one coaching for auditions and performances, beginning singing lessons to learn common vocal techniques, singing lessons offered at community colleges, singing workshops, and chorale instruction.
