What
makes a good singing lesson?
The
most common way to learn
to sing or any other instrument is to get a good teacher and attend
lessons. Of course, you should practice on your own between lessons. Here is
what a singing student should expect from a well organized singing lesson.
If
you’re the student then your goal is different from your teacher’s goal – one of
you already can sing. So most students automatically respect their teacher and
believe everything they say. That’s good and if you are making progress then you
hardly ever have to question the quality of the singing lessons. But there are
plenty of teachers around who actually have no idea what they’re going do with
you in the next lesson. So here comes the first rule of a good singing lesson:
1. A
good singing lesson is always based on a plan
So if
you’re not sure then ask your teacher – what are your plans with this
term/season/semester? What are we going to learn and how am I going to achieve
the goals that we set together?
2. A singing lesson is the place where you get your
problems solved
Teaching is all about solving problems. If you go home from a good singing
lesson then you always know what you are going to practice when you get home. If
you leave the class with confusion and a feeling that you are still “not good
enough and need to practice, practice, practice.” then you should ask what is
the most effective way to practice in order to solve the problem – good practice
is not simply about repetition.
3. Good singing lessons are never boring
Studying an instrument includes similarities with doing sports but it also must
have the creative side. A well organized lesson includes warm-up, techniques,
interpretation and playing.
There
are more things that make a wonderful singing lesson but don’t forget that very
much depends on you as a student – if you don’t do your practice then you’re not
going to get anywhere.
4. Make sure the singing course is taught by someone
with actual teaching experience
This
is easier than it sounds, folks. All you need to do is find out who the singing
teacher is and Google them. All the information you want to know will be
returned in a few seconds. Read, review and make sure the teacher is really a
teacher and not just a player who is trying to make extra money.
5 If you are an absolute beginner
Be
absolutely certain that it is a true beginner’s program. Many times, you may
discover that much of the basic stuff is omitted from beginner’s singing
lessons. Things like proper position, vocal techniques, parts of the voice such
as vocal chords, reading music and tablature should be included. Without this
information under your belt, you may find your singing lessons to be in vain.
6 Take into consideration the type of music you want
to learn to sing.
Search out singing lessons that offer the genre that motivates you. There are
comprehensive singing lesson programs available that cover several music genres
and styles, but that might not be for you. If you want to learn RnB, then look
for singing lessons that can offer entirely RnB. If you like rock, find a
singing teacher who can provide rock singing lesson. The very best singing
teachers, who can offer many genres, will have a much more comprehensive
understanding of the voice and who knows, you may start out learning to sing by
singing RnB and eventually get a taste for Rock.
7 Do the singing lessons provide an opportunity for
you to sing with other vocalists?
As
well as providing a fun way to practice, it also gives you performing experience
with other singers. At Lincoln Singing Tuition you will have the opportunity to
join a band and play with other student just like you.
8 Good singing lessons should take you from the very
beginning to the very highest level.
The
very best singing teachers can give you a first-rate foundation and build on
this until you become an advanced and independent singer. You should feel like
your singing
teacher is aiming to get you as good as possible as quickly as
possible.
