Teachers--Singing

Singing teachers generally assist someone to train their vocal chords for better voice production. A singing teacher may not only teach people how to sing but may also help build a persons confidence or assist with re-training the vocal chords to produce clearer speech.

A number of singing lessons are usually required to teach someone to sing better, usually taking place in a quiet studio or room. One of the main objectives of singing teachers and music teachers is to train a person to sing melodiously. Some of the singing styles encountered include opera, classical, contemporary, and jazz. Singing lessons may be taken as group sessions or privately and individually. Students may have the opportunity to sing in workshops, organised events (such as weddings or concerts), choir groups, or through improvisation if the location and occasion is suitable.

Anyone can learn to sing; from children through to adults, however it does help if the student has some natural ability of their own. Technically the practice of undertaking singing lessons is classified under vocal pedagogy – which is the study of art and science of vocal instruction. It looks into what singing is, how it works, and defines proper singing technique. Singing teachers may be formally qualified or offer instruction through experience gained and reputation.
