Answers to frequently asked questions about voice education
When should my child start voice lessons?
Most children can begin basic vocal training between ages 8-10, focusing on musicianship and healthy singing habits. Serious technical training typically begins after voice change, around age 13-15.
How much practice is needed?
For young singers, 15-20 minutes of focused practice 4-5 times per week is recommended. Quality practice with proper technique is more important than quantity.
