On this option children will be following my comprehensive singing program, crafted to deliver optimal results in the shortest possible time, whilst fostering healthy and effective vocal techniques and development. The program can be taken to an advanced/professional skill level, or to the level that meets your singing goals and is customized to meet your specific individual vocal requirements.


If your child:


  • Is motivated to sing

  • Can concentrate for 30 minutes in a class setting

  • Can commit to attending lessons weekly

  • Can practice at home twice a week to a preset program of vocal exercises (usually between 15-30 minutes per practice session depending on skill level)

  • Is mature enough to commit to longer-term lessons to ensure vocal development

  • Has patience to work through singing barriers and see them through

Singing lessons for children

Then they could be ready for singing lessons

A typical lesson could consist of:


  • Technique instruction

  • Scales and vocal exercises

  • Learning about the voice

  • Singing and learning songs

  • Recording songs, etc.


Much like learning to play an instrument, becoming a good singer requires consistent, regular practice. Taking singing lessons is like going to gym, but for your voice!


If your child isn't quite ready to commit to weekly practice or vocal exercises yet, (as some may find this boring) maybe consider enrolling them in a singing group, theatre performance group or choir first?


I've found that most children are ready for my vocal program around age 12, but it really depends on the individual.


Children younger than 12 might need some assistance with their practice at home and I recommend that parents attend lessons with them to understand how to support them with this.


At around ages 13/14 voices start changing and it's important to ensure a healthy transition with correct technique. For this reason I recommend children around this age take either 45 or 60 minute lessons. This also affords more time to work on the "fun" activities like songs, recordings, etc.
