In this post we will take a look at how to interview a prospective vocal coach so that you can be sure that you find the best vocal coach possible for the price that you are willing to pay. You can use these questions to get a feel for the vocal teacher’s level of experience. For questions about the costs involved in taking singing lessons see this article: singing lessons cost . Unfortunately some of the best vocal coaches may not have the time to fully respond to all of your questions but this doesn’t mean that they’re not good. If you encounter this problem you might want to try out a couple of lessons and get your answers to your questions then. It’s best to treat these questions as suggestions.

Essential questions to help find the best vocal coach:

• How many years of teaching experience do you have? Clearly the more experience the teacher has, the more you’ll be expected to pay. Also if the voice coach has been teaching for a while you might try and ask former students about their experiences.

• Where did you get your singing education? Preferably you want a vocal coach who has had years of performance experience or years of lessons or training in a degree program that focuses on the voice. The singing teacher does not need a degree from an expensive music school to be a great vocal coach so you’ll have to use your own judgement here. He just needs to know a lot about singing and how to pass on this knowledge to his students.

• Do you perform live? If yes, where? If you have the opportunity to hear the vocal coach sing, then by all means go. You may discover a lot about his personality that you might not get to see during your singing lessons.

• Do you work with different voice types and teach different music styles? You will want to ensure that the vocal coach has sufficient experience teaching your voice type and the vocal styles you’d like to explore.

• Where are your lessons held? Lessons might be held in a studio, a school, at the voice teacher’s home or perhaps even at your home (for which you should expect to pay more). The location should be convenient for you to get to.

• What kind of music do your students sing? Try and find out if the singing teacher enjoys the same kind of music as you. If she doesn’t let you choose your own songs, you at least to feel that you’ll enjoy singing the kind of songs that she chooses.

Tread cautiously if you meet a singing coach who claims to have the best singing method . Teaching people to sing is an old profession so you want a teacher who bases his teaching on facts and not experimental singing methods. The only exception to this rule that I can think of is the Per Bristow’s Bristow Voice Method (Bristow Voice Method review) Good luck with your singing and have fun!
