“Why You Should Work Directly with a Great Voice Teacher”
A great voice teacher is worth their weight in gold.
The best teachers have years of training — not just in what makes the voice work and how to get your voice into singing condition, but also in:
-
Heightening your awareness of how to use your voice
-
Accurately assessing where you are right now
-
Knowing the exact, correct steps to take to get where you want to go
There’s a big difference between:
-
Voice teachers who simply hang up their “shingle” because they can sing…
vs. -
Well-schooled, lifelong teachers who truly understand vocal health and development
Great teachers won’t push you into damaging strategies.
They’ll teach you how to grow your voice safely and effectively.
Here’s the challenge:
Most of the best voice instructors are incredible teachers…
But they’re not entrepreneurs.
They often lack the knowledge (or desire) to market themselves or compete with flashy online listings.
In the past 5–10 years, music lesson marketing companies have emerged to fill that gap.
These companies “handle” all the administration — matching teachers with students.
And don’t get me wrong — that’s a needed service.
Students want to find good teachers.
Teachers want to find students.
But here’s the catch:
In these arrangements, only about 25% of the student’s fee actually goes to the teacher doing the work.
So when you’re looking for a truly extraordinary teacher, consider this:
The very best teachers:
-
Charge a rate that reflects decades of experience
-
Rarely discount their rates
-
Often teach from a dedicated studio, music store, or even their own home
Meanwhile, many music lesson marketing companies charge the same rates as these master teachers…
But most of the top-tier instructors in your area don’t work for them.
Think about it:
If you were a top professional in your field, would you accept a 75% pay cut in exchange for a little marketing help?
So here’s my suggestion:
-
Ask professional entertainers in your area who they study with
-
Ask your local universities or music stores
-
Look for a teacher you can work with directly
You’ll get so much more value for your money — and you’ll never regret the choice.
