Working On Your Dreams: Singing Lessons

Whether you want to wow the crowds at karaoke or front a rock band, one of the best ways to start is by taking singing lessons. Singing lessons teach you how to sing, project your voice and improve your vocal technique.

To find a voice teacher, you can look at online advertisements, local music schools or local college music departments. Ask your potential teachers what experience they have and what musical styles they enjoy. If you're looking for help with pop music, for example, you probably don't want singing lessons from a teacher that hates pop music. Ask how much the lessons are and how often the teacher typically gives lessons. Ask for references for your teacher. Any good teacher will be happy to provide you with current or former students who will discuss their lessons.

When you initially meet with a teacher for singing lessons, be prepared to discuss your goals. If you simply want to master how to sing better for your own enjoyment, that's totally fine. If you want to audition for a musical, be a lounge singer or be on a reality show, inform your teacher so he or she can prepare you.

A typical singing lesson will start with warm-ups. You'll do a few vocal exercises to get your voice ready for more rigorous work. Then your teacher will work with you on pieces you've chosen together. Your teacher will stop and give you pointers, then encourage you to try again. Your teacher may give you homework between lessons, such as a difficult musical section to work on, breathing techniques to practice or warm-up exercises to do every day.

Your teacher may also teach you some music theory. If you don't know how to read music, for example, your teacher will show you how to read and understand music scores.

Lessons typically last 45 minutes to one hour. You may have one lesson per week or more depending on your budget and what you're trying to accomplish. If you need longer lessons or more frequent ones, discuss this with your teacher.

If you're unhappy with your singing lessons, don't be afraid to discuss this with your teacher. After all, you're purchasing with a service. Your teacher wants you to enjoy your lessons and accomplish your goals. If you and your teacher can't come to an understanding, find a new teacher that's a better fit for you and your singing goals.

With a small financial investment and some effort on your part, singing lessons can help you make your vocal dreams a reality.
