Frequently Asked Questions
Get StartedWhat Is a Good Age to Start Voice Lessons?
The minimum age we recommend a student start voice lessons is around 6 years old. Many parents want their child to start much younger, but a voice lesson that focuses strictly on technique can be very challenging on younger vocal cords that have not yet developed. We are happy to help you learn more and determine if your child is ready!
Teens and adults are welcome and may also want to include voice lessons with another instrument they are learning. Professional singing lessons can be very beneficial, especially if you learn from a talented teacher. Grace Music School provides the best vocal coaching on Long Island and the surrounding areas. Whether you’re looking to take lessons yourself or are looking for a voice teacher for your son or daughter, you will receive the following benefits and more.
