It is possible to learn to sing on your own, especially if you already know how to play a musical instrument such as the guitar or piano. That being said, it is ideal to learn to sing with a voice teacher because they can provide you with exercises to improve your pitch and sing in tune. A qualified singing teacher can also improve your vocal technique with vocalizations exercises. Having good vocal technique will help you learn to sing with more control, assurance and power as well as reduce the risk of developing vocal chord issues like nodules. Musiprof singing teacher Corina is an expert in vocal technique.

Children as young as 4 years can start voice and music lessons, however the approach will be different for a young child than for a teenager or adult.  According to Muzika, children should wait to reach puberty before undertaking serious voice training. That being said, we recommend that children under 12 do a combination of singing lessons with guitar or piano.  That way, they can learn music fundamentals while learning to accompany their voice.  The Musiprof voice teachers can also teach piano basics to help kids learn to accompany themselves. For example, Ishana can teach guitar along with her singing lessons, while Corina can teach piano.

Only 4% of people are considered tone deaf, meaning they do not have the ability to recognize pitch and sing in key. Therefore, most people, even if they don’t think they can sing in key, can in fact improve their intonation and sing on pitch. A good singing teacher can provide simple exercises to help singers adjust their voice to eventually sing in key.

Online singing lessons are a good alternative to in person lessons. Most singing teachers offer the option of online lessons. At Musiprof, all of our singing teachers offer online singing lessons in Montreal.

Each singing teacher covers different topics and musical styles in their singing lessons. Make sure to ask your singing teacher what topics they usually cover in their lessons.  Generally speaking, singing teachers will adapt their lessons to the individuals preferences of their students while covering 2 wide ranging topics:  performance and technique.  Performance entails working on particular songs, which includes delivery, and lyrical presentation.  For example, if a student is interested in R&B then they will work on an R&B song and break down the elements of that particular piece.  On the other hand, technique involves working on specific exercises that are designed to improve a particular aspect of the voice. Vocalize exercises are often provided in order to help a student master the technical aspects of the voice.

Stage-fright or performance anxiety affects almost everyone.  Singing in front of others can be especially nerve racking.  Learning to manage anxiety while singing on stage is a lifelong process.  Thankfully there are tried and tested techniques that great teachers can share from their experience.  Musiprof voice teacher Sarah K.  wrote a great blog post on the topic:  How to overcome stage fright when signing. The post included a free guided audio to help calm your nerves right now.

You don’t need to buy anything for voice lessons, unlike most other types of music lessons. However, some equipment is helpful if you are inclined to make a small investment.

Keyboard:
Vocal teachers often use a keyboard or piano to do voice exercises or to accompany their students while they sing. It would be helpful for you to have your own in order to practise at home.
A very low priced keyboard is the Casio keyboard for only CAD $129.99.

A higher quality option with weighted piano keys there is the Yamaha P-25 for CAD $799.99.

Microphone:
Practising with a singing microphone is a good way to learn how to sing in front of an audience.
The industry standard is the SM58 by Shure for 129.00 CAD.  It is an extremely sturdy and great choice.

PA system:
For a microphone to function, you will need a PA system which acts as an amplifier.  We recommend the LyxPro SPA-8 Portable PA system to get started
