Choosing the Right Voice Teacher
<< prev |

Ariane Leanza
Hamden/New Haven CT based voice teacher and performer
We return to music for different reasons: we love music and never had the chance to learn how to play or sing, we want to change careers, maybe we want to just have fun or maybe all of the above. I also have some students, who come because for them it is as therapeutic as a session with a psychologist.
So for whatever reason we choose to get back to music, we sometimes have fears that occur. Why? Because it takes courage to call a teacher and make the decision to pursue your musical dreams. Which teacher should you choose? Which commitment should you make? A lot of questions appear.
In my experience you should choose a good teacher by asking some questions in the first conversation or meeting. The most important thing to establish, as a student, is what kind of training and experience the teacher has. The second question to ask is if you can tape the session, and if somebody can watch the lesson. Every teacher, sure of his/her teaching would agree. And the best way of knowing if the teacher is right for you, is to go for a first session and follow your intuition.
Money should not be the first thing you think about. It is better to have 2 sessions a month with the right person, tape the session and practice in between, than to have 4 with somebody who doesn’t teach you anything.
Learning how to play an instrument or to sing is a journey into your self. You will get to know yourself better, if you are open to it. How do you react to the everyday practice? How do you handle the repetition, are you patient, do you have a lot of perseverance? Do you accept that everything doesn’t come right away?
As for voice, the instrument I teach most, it is part of our body and reacts to our everyday moods. I have to guide the student, how to accept his/her limitations of the moment, and teach that a little better every week is good enough. Going back to the learning process can be really rewarding, especially when one is an open-minded student.
