Singing Lessons, Guitar Lessons

Lyra Studios founder Harrison Nida has done it all. From Classical in the form of the Ragazzi Boys Choir and San Francisco Orchestra, Jazz residencies at Stanford Jazz Institute and California Jazz Conservatory, a degree in Music from Fordham University, but ultimately landing as co-founder of Ska Punk band Victory Kid. Signed to Sbäm Records in Austria, Victory Kid has worked with some of the industry's best. Allan Hessler (Story Of The Year, Avenged Sevenfold, The Used) elevated the band's sound with debut record, Discernation, an ambitious, technically accomplished album. Featuring Matt Appleton (Goldfinger, Reel Big Fish, Ice Nine Kills) on horns, Discernation received over 3 million streams on Spotify and counting, as well as a record deal and tour in Germany with the Mad Caddies in 2022. Nine companions set out, including Matt on sax, Arion Salazar (Third Eye Blind) on bass, and Jonas Wolf (Eluveitie, Illumishade) on lead guitar. But Victory Kid has an ace in the hole: Catalyst, their sophomore album, is a seventeen track masterpiece. Continuing with Appleton, who wrote and recorded horns, the gang enlisted Michael Pepe (Taking Back Sunday, Set It Off, Silverstein) to produce their next project. With drums recorded at Capitol Studios (along with an acoustic track) and the rest done at Fab Factory,Catalyst, puts an even stronger foot on the line as Victory Kid squares up for success. Since then, they've toured the US, including a sold out Viper Room show in LA in 2024, and returned to Europe for a massive tour with Zebrahead, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, and The Real McKenzies in 2025. They have shared the stage with Rancid, Dropkick Murphys, Bowling For Soup, Millencolin, Alien Ant Farm, Save Ferris, Authority Zero, Destroy Boys, Enter Shikari, The Bouncing Souls, and more! But what really sets Harrison apart is his previous teaching experience. Having taught for years at Santa Monica Malibu Unified School District, as well as giving lessons with SoundLife Academy, Harrison uses not only his experience but his collective knowledge coming from a long heritage of educators to tailor the needs of every student with attention and care.See more

FAQs

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

Cello lessons are a great way to anchor and guide your cello practice, regardless of your skill level. From top symphony performers to first-time music students in elementary school, cello lessons correct your flaws and help your strengths shine. The cost of cello lessons will vary, depending on the reputation and experience of your teacher, the length and frequency of your lessons, and where you live. Students who have regularly scheduled lessons and pay in advance often pay less per lesson than drop-in students who schedule lessons as needed. Here are some examples of average cello lesson costs:

  • 30-minute cello lesson: $30, when a minimum of 4 lessons per month are pre-paid.

    • Cost for drop-in lesson: $35.

  • 45-minute cello lesson: $35, when a minimum of 4 lessons per month are pre-paid.

    • Cost for drop-in lesson: $40-$45.

  • 60-minute cello lesson: $40, when a minimum of 4 lessons per month are pre-paid.

    • Cost for drop-in lesson: $50-$55.

You can receive singing lessons from a vocal instructor or voice coach on Thumbtack. Some instructors offer virtual lessons, while others may require you to come into a studio for instruction.

Taking cello lessons can be a rewarding experience for students young and old. The rich sound of the cello is well-loved in classical music and is found in all genres of contemporary music from modern folk to rock. As with any instrument, how hard it is to learn to play cello depends on the practice and dedication you put into it. It’s true that some people are naturally more adept at learning instruments than others, but with lessons and a daily commitment, you too can learn to play the cello.

Cello lessons can be a smart investment, especially for new players. Even professional cellists benefit greatly from ongoing training, but for those new to cello it’s especially important for forming a strong foundation for playing. From the proper posture to understanding finger positions, regular cello lessons give you a benchmark to measure your daily practice against. With a professional cello teacher guiding you, the sky’s the limit.

Use Thumbtack to find a good, top-rated voice teacher near you. With Thumbtack, you can view the teachers’ profiles, read their client testimonials and check their ratings. To ensure you hire the best instructor, ask them questions about their credentials and success with other students. You should also get cost estimates from at least three instructors before you make your decision.

Every voice coach may have a different style of teaching, but here are a few things you'll likely experience during a singing lesson: 

  • Explaining to the instructor what you want to improve on.

  • Going through a few breathing and riff exercises.

  • Receiving constructive feedback and criticism from the instructor.

Before your first voice lesson, you can ask your instructor what you should expect and how to prepare.

Singing lessons cost $50 per hour, on average. Hourly rates can range anywhere from $40-$80. However, some vocal instructors may charge flat rates or offer packages. They may also offer 30-minute lessons for a lower price. Or, they might require monthly tuition for ongoing classes. It depends on the voice coach. 

Contact vocal instructors near you to get a sense of how much singing lessons cost in your area.

Whether you’re a novice or experienced singer, it’s never too late to start taking vocal lessons.

If you’re thinking about signing up your child for voice lessons, keep in mind that some instructors recommend waiting until their voice settles after puberty. Talk to voice coaches near you to find out if now's the time for you (or your child) to start taking lessons.
