How Long Should I Take Private Voice Lessons?

Voice Lesson needs vary from person to person, of course. I've learned that 1 ½ to 2 years of consistent lessons makes a powerful difference in your voice.

Literally, it can take you from having potential to being studio- ready, with the right teacher, of course.

Here's my timeline:

o 0-6 months: we're getting over shyness and insecurities and getting adjusted to new technique. For many voice students, this is THE BIGGEST hurdle to overcome. Once they are comfortable making mistakes with their teacher, they're confidence rises and everything falls into place rather quickly.

o 6-12 months: we're generally locking in technique, and working to close major gaps in technique.

o 13-18 months : we're 'tying up loose ends'. You have overcome your major hurdles and are now polishing your technique, to have consistency throughout your range. You're new range opens up new possibilities with repertoire. You are finding your voice

o 19-24 months: You are becoming an artist. This takes you from being mechanical and skilled, to being an artful performer.

*This is coming from the perspective of becoming a pop/ gospel/ country/ r&b performer. Of course classical singing takes 6+ years of ongoing training to be an artful performer!

For those singers who are preparing to record their music in the studio or have shows coming up and with deadlines, preparation for this will often include a vocal coach. In this instance, often 2-4 sessions with a voice instructor will suffice. This will help insure that you are keeping your voice healthy and will get the most 'mileage' out of your voice during your show/ session.
