I want singing lessons however we don't have a lot of money like in my family its just my mom and I...?

Question

what should I do?

Answer 1

okay hun, that guy is a d**k for starters.  anyway, see if there are any music teachers at your school who will give you some basic tips for free, and maybe even a few lessons.  theres a usually a few nice teachers haha.  try joining a local choral group or musical theatre group, that's always a good way to learn and practice, or if you are religious a church choir is great (never been in one myself though.)

I actually took lessons, and i started wtih them the way i said, getting them from free from the chorus teacher at my school, however even before that, I simply looked up vocal warmups online, and looked up vocal techniques.  i watched alot of demonstratvie videos on youtube and taught myself.  by the time i was taking lessons, i already had pretty good technique, and just needed to refine it.  so try starting with that.

also, vocal lessons are usually about $50 an hour, and thats pretty expensive.  i've seen prices that range from $25 an hour to over $100 for some very serious opera teachers.  i personally charge 45 to stay below local competition.  anyhow, just sing as much as possible, and keep practicing. good luck

Answer 2

Teach yourself on the internet. If you're really bad, formal singing lessons probably wont make you sound any better. Also, the instructors usually can't sing for their lives, and are only there to rip you off. Spending $70 for a 10 minute lesson (That's what it usually costs) is a waste of money, especially if you're not going to win any American Idol. Besides, who's actually going to listen to you sing if you end up being a lousy singer and flunk the class? It  could happen. You're probably better off buying Rock Band, or the American Idol video game, they're a lot more fun for the money.
