Singing lessons are worthwhile because they give you the opportunity to improve your voice through training and practice. Vocal teachers can show you tried and tested techniques to make you sing louder and in tone. For me, the voice classes paid off. I went to the woodshed every week, practiced my duties and scales diligently, tried various approaches and experimented with several different methods, but nothing seemed to work for my baritone voice.
By taking voice lessons, you eliminate the risk of nodules forming while learning the proper ways to sing at the same time. Another thing that beginners have trouble with is applying force to their vocals when they sing, especially when it's time to play those high notes. As I said at the beginning of the article, I'm not trying to force you to voice classes in any way. Of course, as a voice teacher, I think voice lessons are worth it for anyone who wants to improve their voice.
Everyone can learn to sing better, and a voice teacher can help you learn how to use your voice to the best of their ability. You can start developing your own vocal base with the Foundation 101 singing course here at Bohemian Vocal Studio, and you can even start right now with this exclusive mixed-voice singing lesson that will share with you the exact method I use to help my own students find their own mixed resonance by connecting the voice of the chest and head. You know, the basic fundamentals on which to build my voice, like the foundations of a house or the chassis of a car. Everything you need to know about the voice, whether it's singing or something as simple as everyday speech, count on a vocal coach to know a thing or two about it.
In those one-on-one singing lessons, you basically pay for the time, knowledge and advice of an experienced singing teacher who will help you develop your unique voice. Everyone goes through a moment when you feel like you've done everything possible for your voice and now you're a little stuck, not knowing what to do to keep going and improve even more. That is, until my last voice coach casually told me “oh, you're doing all that the wrong way, I'm sure you can imagine my answer after spending almost a decade practicing in this' wrong 'way.
