Can anyone tell me where I can find a vocal coach for my daughter she loves to sing where in Houston?

Answer 1

Be careful with a younger voice, they change alot (until 20's) and are also liable to become damaged if pushed to far.

Check local music stores (both chains and mom and pop shops) most folks who work there are musicians and alot of shops will have community boards with teachers listed.

also check out www.privatelessons.com occasionally has some good connections to be found.

also check craigslist. www.craigslist.com

With most teachers they will usually offer a free leson or consultation where you can sit and talk candidly about what you are hoping to get out of these lessons and what the teacher will expect of you. Some teachers specialize in specific types of music (jazz, classical, broadway/pop etc) and their teaching will be specific to that. It is important to find a teacher you can trust and whom is willing to work with you towards the goals your daughter has as opposed to imposing their own style and teaching regimine whole sale.

Answer 2

If you are involved in the church talk to your music director - chances are they will know someone who teaches voice. Also, calling dance studios/gymnastics studios might turn up a vocal coach.

Now for some advise - do try and find a vocal *teacher*. A teacher will be able to *teach*, a coach is usually just an accompanist that has a bit of vocal training. I do see both terms used for *teacher*, but make sure you're getting someone who can teach music fundamentals.

Also, if your daughter is young make sure you're getting someone who has experience with young voices. Children's (under 18 really) voices are very easy to destroy if you don't know what you're doing. They can be easily pushed too far and can't handle the regimen of an adults vocal training. You're going to need someone who knows what they are doing, regardless of age, but you have to be especially careful with young voices.

Answer 3

I would suggest that you go to see some local or regional productions and if there's someone in the show who's voice impresses you, stay after and ask them who they go to or look in the program and see who they thank :-) You can also see who the musical director of the production is and chances are they teach voice lessons as well. You can also call the theatres and see if they have workshops planned for the summer that may be all inclusive with singing, dancing and acting. You can network there and find several names to choose from while she has a great summer theatre experience! Good luck!
