Hugo S. says, "It has always been a life long goal of mine to sing. So, after much hesitation of doing something that I’ve never done before I sought out professional help. I stumbled across this site after skimming through various ads that featured a variety of teachers that specialized in all facets of voice. Andrew Costellos profile and his expertise in the field of opera caught my eye, specifically because training in the style of opera was something that didn’t come to mind. Since the moment I’ve taken the first lesson up until now, I’ve noticed a difference in the way that I sing. My vocal pitch, technique and range have improved in the span of a couple of months under the mentorship of Andrew. Should one reading this review decide to take lessons with Andrew should note that he has a vast knowledge of voice. His breakdown of proper mouth and tongue placement to produce a desired sound, having you sing in sync with a specific piano key, singing in different piano keys to diversify your singing pitch, etc. Andrews feedback is another thing to note especially if you’re unsure whether you’re singing correctly because I thought prior to taking lessons that I possessed a decent voice until Andrew evaluated my vocals and laid out what we can work on to have my voice perform to the best of its abilities. Whether you’re a professional with a large body of work or a novice like myself, having someone as knowledgeable as Andrew will strengthen one’s vocal abilities."See more

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

What are singing lessons like?

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.

How many singing lessons do I need?

It depends on what you’re hoping to accomplish with your singing lessons. Consult a highly rated vocal instructor to determine how many lessons you should take — and how often you should take them.

What is a good age to start vocal lessons?
