FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Our voice teachers generally focus on modern music and are comfortable with classical and jazz as well. Our students will learn vocal techniques while learning how to sing their favorite songs.
Are Your Voice Teachers Qualified?
Our voice teachers have received their education from institutions such as York University, Western University, Humber College, Mohawk College, University of Toronto, and the Royal Conservatory of Music. Many of our vocal instructors have gone on performance tours of Canada and the US, and have years of experience in teaching and performing. They are also hand picked for their friendly and warm personalities.

What's the Best Age to Start Singing Lessons?
We recommend children be 7 years old before they start singing lessons. Learning how to sing requires a fairly developed lung capacity. Children under 7 may find certain voice techniques physically demanding and a bit difficult. It’s often better for a child to wait until they are a bit older as to avoid potential problems in the future. Try not to confuse this with singing in music lessons. Singing along with the melody in your piano or guitar lessons is extremely valuable. Simply singing along quietly is unlikely to damage your voice where as learning how to project and sing from your diaphragm requires more development.

START SINGING LESSONS AT THE RIGHT AGE
We recommend voice students start at age 7 and up. Learning how to sing requires a fairly developed lung capacity. Younger children may find some voice techniques too difficult and physically demanding. It’s often better to wait until the child is physically ready as to avoid potential problems in the future. This should not be confused with singing in your piano or guitar lessons. Singing along with the melody in your music lessons is very good for learning. Simply singing along quietly shouldn't cause damage to your voice where as learning how to project and sing from your diaphragm requires more development.
SET GOALS IN YOUR SINGING LESSONS
Setting goals in your voice classes is an amazing way to keep you motivated! When you focus on reaching your music lesson goal you will practice more, achieve more, and ultimately feel great about your improvement. Here at the Academy of Music we have a few awesome programs for our voice students to set personal musical goals. There are at least two optional recitals every year, our exclusive Musical Ladder System, and our 150 Day Music Lesson Practice Challenge. The rewards programs are fun for all instruments including singing lessons.
SET A REGULAR PRACTICE SCHEDULE
Developing a regular practice schedule will help make sure you’re are constantly progressing in your voice lessons. Try to make sure that your routine is daily. It’s much better to practice singing a few minutes each day then to cram the day before your vocal lesson. It may be difficult to practice every day so you can give yourself a break every once in a while. Just remember that consistency is the key to music lesson success. As a voice student you don't necessarily need to sit down at an instrument to practice. Singing in the shower is considered practice as long as you are focusing on your lesson materiel. Try not to drive your family crazy though 🙂
SING IN MUSIC RECITAL OR PERFORMANCE
Singing in a music recital or performance can be a great way for parents to know if their kids are progressing in their singing lessons. Preparing for the concert means that you need to practice one or two songs until you are ready to perform them. This also gives the students and teachers something to focus on in their music lessons. The Academy of Music offers at least two performance opportunities every year as well as frequent retirement home concerts for the community.
