Do singing lessons work..will I be able to sing?

Answer 1

Lessons can only help certain people to become really good, but most people can benefit from lessons just to nail down a few key concepts. Things like breath control, tone quality, and technique can all be learned, but other things such as pitch and tuning usually take some natural talent to become any good at.

For example, My brother and I both play saxophone and are pretty evenly matched in terms of skill, but I was born with perfect pitch, so I can tune myself mid-song and make my notes generally more in tune than his.

Overall, Lessons will almost always guarantee some improvement, even if it's only a little. you'll learn a lot of fundamental stuff which can make you sound far better than the average person.

Answer 2

that reminds me of the old joke ( ask your parents or grandparents) "Doctor, will I be able to play the violin?"
" Yes, of course." "Funny, I never could before!"
Do you sing now? Do you like to sing?
A couple of days ago, someone answered a similar question with a thoughtful answer- a B- voice can come up to a B+, an A- voice up to an A+, but no amount of training will turn a C- voice into an A+ voice.
Having said all that blather, yes singing lessons do help. As others here have pointed out, it depends on the relationship between teacher and student. Most of us teachers actually say the same thing, but since the science and language of voice teaching is so imprecise, it often sounds as if we are contradicting one another. The National Association of Teachers of Singing (NATS to you) are trying to eradicate this, so if you do go looking for a teacher, ask if they belong to this organization. It is a guarantee that you are working with someone who knows what they are about.
Again, the chemistry between student and teacher is important. We all remember what it's like to have a teacher that we can't stand, and how much easier it is to learn a subject when we get along with the teacher.
I went through several at the beginning of my career, and had a couple of phases of having to unlearn some bad habits I had picked up ( from a non-NATS person)
As a teacher now, I have had some people leave after a couple of lessons on the grounds that they were not comfortable with my teaching methods. That's ok.
Take the time and check out some people in your area. Tell them honestly that you are looking to find a good team partner. Most will understand. If they don't, that's a good sign already to get out of there.
As others have pointed out here, your involvement is also paramount. If you don't practice between lessons, you're not going to improve. This is a very active subject, and not just to be learned in a theoretical manner!
Best wishes and keep on singing

Answer 3

Depends how good and legit the teacher is. It depends how well and often you practice. And it depends how mentally open to
and enthusiastic you are about learning to sing. Go ahead, take the lessons! But practice at least twice a day. But also drink water, buy a book called You Can Sing (At Any Age), if you can find it. It should contain a cassette tape or cd, at the inside back cover. When you practice, (and or self teach) follow what the book says. Maybe we could do a karaoke duet together, some time.

Answer 4

it all depends on the teacher and your understanding of what to do to get better. My first voice teacher who I went to for 3 months didn't really help me much at all. I thought she was until I actually heard myself sing. So I switched teachers and after the first month with my new teacher I could already hear the improvement in range and sound. Best way to notify yourself is by recording your voice and monitoring your progress. Allow yourself atleast 2 months but if nothing is happening after 2 months, you might want to reconsider your teacher. But they definitely help if you can find yourself a good teacher! Good luck!

Answer 5

singing lessons can help you a lot but you need to practice outside of the lessons to get better. And its best to get lessons 14+ because thats when your hormones start to settle down.
hope that helped

Answer 6

To a certain extant voice can be modulated by training. But the sweet & melodious voice is God gifted. Persons with such a gifted voice can become good singers through singing lessons.

Answer 7

You MUST have some vocal talent to start with! Ive been taking lessons for two years and im better now than ever but im lukky and my vocal coaches are amazing! I did start out with areacher that was crap! but you learn as you go alongin that industry! DONT expect miricales its a long hard process any one thats says its easy is deluded! It really isnt i though it would be simple but theres sooooo much to it!

Answer 8

if you have some talent, yes they will help improve them
but we all have different gifts and talents and this may not be yours in which case it probably wouldn't do much
try them and if they really aren't working and you have tryed your 100% well, try tap dancing
