    Lesson Details
    Every voice lesson will consist of equal time instruction through vocal exercises and instruction through song. I have a very laid-back and fun approach to singing and teaching. I feel that the studio should be an enjoyable place and the voice lesson should be a time of the week that the student looks forward to. During the first lesson the student and I will set achievable goals in achievable time spans specific to the level and skill of the singer. I will give the student all the tools to ...

    Rated 5 out of 5 by FABULOUS! My son 14 year old son Michael is taking singing lessons from Jeffrey and we could not have hoped for a better experience. Michael has no previous experience singing but has always enjoyed music and singing around the house. After watching all the singing compititions on TV Michael asked if he could take singing lessons. Not having a musical background myself, I just went on line and found this website and randomly picked Jeffrey because he was close to our home. WOW! Did we luck out!! Michael is benefitting from this experience in ways that he is unaware of. His confidence needs to come a long way before he will be ready to sing publically but he has learned so much in such a short time thanks to Jeffrey! Jeffrey's knowledge, enthusiasm and upbeat attitude is priceless!! I have the privelege of being a fly on the wall during these lessons and it is a total pleasure!! Thank You Jeffrey!!! March 2, 2013
    Rated 5 out of 5 by Great teacher, Jeffrey has only been working with our daughter Emily for a short time but we have already noticed an improvement in her voice control and breathing. Jeffrey is extreamly knowledgable on all aspects of singing and how to control your breathing and voice. Our daughter really enjoys her lessons with him and looks forward to it every week.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by Excellent with kids! 6 yr old Robert was scared to take lessons. Jeff calmed him in an instant with his excitement and smile! Patient, fun & talented! December 19, 2011
    Rated 5 out of 5 by Mental Health Counselor/mother/ I love to see how my daughters are getting confidence with their voice. The voice exercises they do and the songs they sing are helping them to get a good voice for either acting or singing, whatever they may choose to do in the future. I love Jeffrey for his patience, dedication for being very supportive with my girls. Ysabel October 4, 2011

  • Getting Started

    Excited about jumping into music lessons? Before you can get to the guitar tabs, violin concertos, and vocal riffs, take a moment to think about the logistics of your lessons.
    Lesson Length
    There are a few things to consider when choosing between 30-, 45- or 60-minute lessons. First and foremost, take your age and experience level into account. You'll also want to think about your long- and short-term goals, and the time you'll need to reach them. Most importantly, consider how long you or your child is able to stay focused.
    Lesson Location
    Teachers have the option to display availability for in-home, in-studio, and online music lessons. In-home lessons take place at your house, in-studio lessons are conducted at the teacher's home or professional studio, and online lessons are taught over the internet via live video chat.

    Book Your Lessons Online

    Scheduling your lessons is simple and quick! The prompts will guide you through each step, from securing your lesson time to selecting the payment plan that works best for you.
    Scheduling Lessons
    After you've selected your teacher, click on the Availability tab to see which time slots and days are open.
    Booking Options
    Click the "Book Online" button to get started. Enter in your contact information, and the prompts will guide you through payments, program options, and confirming your schedule. Learn more about our booking policies.
    Payment and Billing
    We make paying for your lessons convenient and hassle-free! Prices vary based on several factors, including the city you live in, the length of your lessons, and whether you're taking them at home, in your teacher's studio, or online. Lessons are paid for in advance, which locks in your time slot.
    Signing Your Customer Agreement
    Signing your Customer Agreement and completing your Student Questionnaire is the last step! The questionnaire will give your instructor valuable information about your goals and experience level, and give him or her time to create a customized lesson plan right from the start.

    Start Your Lessons

    Now the excitement can really begin! Consider the following to ensure an exceptional first lesson...
    Prepare for Your First Lesson
    Once you've completed the last step, your teacher will call you within the next couple of days to confirm your first lesson time and provide you with directions to their studio, if needed. We also encourage you to discuss your goals and any other questions you may have.
    What To Expect
    Every teacher is different, but most first lessons begin with an assessment of where you are in your studies. At a beginner level, you might review the basics of your instrument, such as the different parts, how to hold it correctly, and proper care and maintenance. For voice, this may be the time you learn about breathing and posture.
    Reach the Goals You Set
    Every TakeLessons student is unique, and so is your lesson plan! You'll work with your instructor to develop a plan suited to meet your specific goals. Most TakeLessons instructors will also keep track of your progress with a lesson journal.

To request the Money Back Guarantee, simply notify us within 72 hours of your first lesson.
