Get Started
Not quite! The voice is just like any other instrument--it takes time, practice, and building of skill to master. The voice is unique compared to other instruments though, in the fact that it changes throughout our lives. This is a huge reason why vocal health is so important.
This depends on you or your child. If the goal is to sing because it is fun, then it does not hurt to start at an earlier age. The techniques of proper breath support, vowel placement, and vocal health are vital to learn, even at a young age.
We definitely believe all lessons should be fun! Fun doesn't mean the absence of hard work. We focus on increasing the student's range, strengthening it, vocal health and hygiene, and practicing songs that the student is interested in, as well as classical literature. For example, a student could be working on Greensleeves, a traditional folk song with different vowel placement requirements, while also working on pop songs such as "How Far I'll Go" from Moana, "Stitches" by Shawn Mendes, or a Taylor Swift song, etc.
Your vocal instructor may recommend different books depending on the student's individual needs and desires. They may recommend Broadway, Folk, Country, or Classical. If the student is wanting to prepare something for All-Region there are specific books the teacher can recommend. Please communicate with your instructor what your interests are! :)
