  • I disagree. Look for a voice teacher who has a degree and a clear understand in VOCAL PEDAGOGY. Singing experience is not enough. Not everyone who can sing, can teach...

  • My main voice teacher did her doctoral research work under the famed otolaryngologist Dr. Van Lawrence, and I can tell you without a doubt that it is VERY dangerous to even suggest that a singer should just fall out of bed and start singing. A proper vocalise/warm-up routine is essential to preparing the voice for singing. Just as a runner must stretch before a sprint or a marathon, a singer must properly warm up the voice before singing.

  • not after a lesson but my voice gets higher after a concert or after 2 hours of rehearsal, does it mean anything?

  • What IS important is, for the students: does your throat feels 'funny' or 'tired' when you are done with your lesson? Do you have a sorethroat? Does your speaking voice gets higher by the time you are done with a lesson? Those are IMPORTANT questions to ask yourself, as a student. Again...just my 2 cents.

  • Just FYI....many sopranos are tought by Baritones....Tenors teach Sopranos and Bass.....you don't need to have a teacher that sings your same range...it has NOTHING to do with it. And yes.....technique is important.....and if your teacher is telling you to squeez your cheeks.....he's looking for a way to work things out. It has NOTHING to do with your butt.....but the result he/she is looking for. Singing is extremely subjective....and teaching singing is no exeption.
