Increased Vocal Range

With regular practice and guidance from a vocal coach, students can expand their vocal range, allowing them to sing a wider variety of songs and hit higher or lower notes with confidence.

FAQs About Voice Lessons

FAQ About Voice Lessons

No, you’re never too old to learn to sing! 

Many adults, including seniors, begin singing later in life and find great enjoyment and fulfillment in it. Additionally, age can be an asset in singing. Adults often bring a wealth of life experience and emotional depth to their performances, which can enhance their interpretation of lyrics and overall musical expression. Their understanding of language and emotional nuances can add a unique richness to their singing that younger singers may not yet possess.

If you’ve ever been curious about learning to sing, now is the perfect time to give it a try. 

Consider starting with a single drop-in lesson to experience our teaching. Whether you continue after the lesson or not is entirely up to you. If you decide to go with regular lessons, we have a monthly package that is more affordable than single lessons.

As a music school that has taught hundreds of students for decades, we assure you that learning music can become a lifelong passion and has the power to change your lifeThere’s no such thing as being ‘too old to learn’ when it comes to music. Don’t let your age discourage you from pursuing your passion for music.

Absolutely not! You don’t need any prior musical experience to start voice lessons. Many beginner students of ours begin their singing journey without any musical background and progress beautifully at their own pace. 

During a voice lesson, you can expect a comprehensive approach to improving your singing technique and overall vocal performance. You’ll work on breathing techniques, vocal exercises to enhance range and flexibility, and proper posture. The lesson will include practicing songs, focusing on pitch, tone, and expression. Your instructor will provide personalized feedback, helping you to correct any issues and improve your vocal technique. Additionally, you may learn music theory and sight-reading to enhance your overall musicality. Each lesson is tailored to your skill level and goals.

Generally, no special equipment is required beyond a comfortable space for singing and a device for playing music or accompanying tracks. Some students may choose to use a keyboard or piano for practice, but it is not mandatory. Your instructor might recommend specific materials or songbooks based on your needs.

Improvement varies by individual and depends on factors such as practice frequency, natural ability, and the quality of instruction. Many students notice improvements within a few months, but significant progress typically takes longer with dedicated practice.

We do offer online classes, but generally, they are only for special circumstances where attending in person isn’t feasible. As a music school with a long history of teaching hundreds of students, we firmly believe that the benefits of in-person lessons can never be replicated by online instruction.

First and foremost, the sound reproduced through electronic devices is never the same as the richness and depth of a live performance. Moreover, important factors such as posture, body alignment, hand position, and foot position are not easy to address online compared to in-person sessions.

While our preference is for students to attend lessons in our studio, we understand the need for online options due to factors like distance or physical limitations. Therefore, we try our best to deliver high-quality instruction in online settings when requested. Feel free to let us know if online lessons are your preference.

Our lessons offer durations of 30 minutes, 45 minutes, or 60 minutes. The best duration for you depends on the teacher’s approach and your age and attention span. For younger children or beginners, a 30-minute session is often recommended to start with.

Most students benefit from weekly lessons, which provide consistent practice and progress. However, the frequency can vary depending on individual goals, availability, and budget. If you’re unsure whether you can commit to weekly lessons, you can always opt for a single drop-in lesson when you’re available.

Children can typically start voice lessons around the age of 5 to 8 years old. At this age, they generally have the attention span, physical development, and basic reading skills needed to benefit from structured lessons. However, younger children can still engage in musical activities and informal singing to develop a love for music and a basic understanding of their voice. Let us know if your children are young but show interest in singing; we are more than happy to help them expand their musical abilities in a way that suits their age and development.

Yes, voice lessons can enhance confidence and equip students with strategies to manage stage fright. Instructors often integrate performance techniques and practice sessions to help students feel more at ease performing in front of others.

Especially since our voice teachers are professional actors who regularly perform on stage, they can provide valuable tips and techniques for overcoming stage fright.

In addition, we host music recitals twice a year where students have the opportunity to showcase their progress in front of a large audience. While participation is not mandatory, we highly recommend it because performing in front of others is a valuable experience. Some students may feel nervous and may not perform at their fullest potential, and that’s completely fine. We believe in creating a supportive environment where every student who bravely steps onto the stage is respected and appreciated. If you struggle with stage fright, participating in our recital can be a positive step towards overcoming it.
