How much does vocal classes cost?

Question

I want to send my 13 year old niece to take a good vocal school for about 2-3 days a week. How much does one day of vocal lessons cost?

Answer 1

FIRST OF ALL IT DEPENDS ON WHAT CITY YOU ARE IN - GENERALLY LA AND NY WILL BE MORE EXPENSIVE AND HAVE A LOT MORE TEACHERS TO CHOOSE FROM. ALSO IT'S NOT WISE TO SPEND A WHOLE DAY ON VOCAL LESSONS - IT WILL WEAR OUT THE VOICE - ESPECIALLY FOR A BEGINNER!

VOCAL LESSONS ARE TAUGHT BY THE HOUR - NOT BY THE DAY - AND MUCH MUCH BETTER TO SPREAD THEM OUT SAY FOR 10 -12 WEEKS TO START -

ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK  - BUT ONLY FOR AN HOUR AT A TIME. MOST VOICE TEACHERS WILL MAKE YOU A TAPE TO PRACTICE IN BETWEEN  - SO YOU CAN LEARN TO WARM UP PROPERLY - FOR JUST LIKE AN ATHLETE WHO STRETCHES BEFORE A WORKOUT OR GAME - A SINGER NEEDS TO WARM UP THE VOICE TO EXPAND THE RANGE AND LEARN HOW TO BREATHE AND SUPPORT THE VOCAL CHORDS SO YOU DON'T HURT THEM.

THIS IS VERY, VERY IMPORTANT.

HOURLY RATES CAN RANGE ANYWHERE FROM $30 - TO $300.  

GOOD LUCK!
