Jess Mitchell says, "Started guitar lessons with Austin after years and years of not having any lessons and only knowing how to strum chords. I told Austin in our first lesson that my goal was to practice finger picking since this was something I didnt have much experience with. Within weeks of beginning lessons with Austin I was successfully finger picking Joni Mitchell (an artist I love but never thought would be attainable for me to learn). I really appreciated his patience, calm and kind manner, and simple yet super helpful tips and tricks. Highly recommend starting lessons with Austin as he will cater to your goals and offer all the support needed along the way!"See more

Stefano G. says, "I am Stefano Genova, aspiring bass player. I have met Stefano Battaglia thru some NYC musicians friends. They have introduced me as one of the most talented double bass players around the jazz scene. I did not hesitate to ask him for some lessons since my desire to work on my technique such as pizzicato and arco in the jazz vocabulary. It has been now 3 months that we work together and Stefano has been a great teacher, knowledgeable and really stimulating me to give my best. I have never had a problem in scheduling lessons with him. I generally I have work out of town and sometimes we needed to reschedule lessons but he has always been super responsive and willing to find different time solutions. I would reccomend Battaglia as a teacher and also as a performer cause indeed he is one of the best players I have listened to."See more

FAQs

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

How much are singing lessons?

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.

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.

Do singing lessons actually work?

Yes, many students who’ve taken singing lessons say that their singing has gotten better. To find out if voice coaches near you have successfully taught others how to sing, read their customer reviews on Thumbtack.

What is a good age to start vocal lessons?

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.
