Beginner Singing Lessons
Lessons for a beginner need to strike a balance of fun and building crucial singing skills. Any voice teacher at EXPRESS will want to find what style of music you gravitate to and build your lessons around specific goals to be able to sing in that style.
If you are a beginner singer, don’t be afraid to ask questions, say what styles of music interest you, and absolutely share with your singing teacher insights on how you learn: do you like to be pushed- tough love style? Do you want the lessons to be mostly singing through songs because its your “you” time and you need a mental break!
Your singing teacher is also learning to build the lesson style you want and need.
The Best Vocal Technique
Your voice is a unique instrument. Knowing how to use it in all circumstances with its full color and depth throughout your range requires working with a singing teacher who can help you master vocal agility and vocal tone. Improving your singing takes work. We will push you mentally and physically. Vocal technique doesn’t have to be complex though!
The basic concept of singing lessons at Express Voice Studio is to strengthen the muscles needed to sing healthily and naturally while relaxing the muscles that do not contribute to a healthy sound. Through voice lessons, you will eliminate tension. This is something only the best singing teachers can achieve in their students. Our professional singers’ backgrounds in body movement including Feldenkreis and Alexander Technique provides the basis of vocal technique that works for all styles of music: jazz, classical, belt, musical, Broadway, folk and contemporary.
Rap Lessons
Rap is so much about muscle memory and rhythm. We have artists who coach rap, but you may need to build out a “team.” Depending on your level, issues with rhythm and vocal technique can be addressed by a singing teacher and paired with rap lessons. Your rap lessons can include working on lyricism, flow, rhyme schemes, song writing, sound producing, stage presence and gaining experience recording your own songs.
Singing lessons
for children & adults
Singing lessons at Express Voice Studio are offered in French and English for ages 8 and up. Our teachers work with young children offering voice classes for kids as well as singing classes for adults and vocal coaching for recording artists/ professional voice artists.
Feeling Overwhelmed?
What To Bring To A Singing Lesson
Your first lesson is a chance for your coach to assess your skill level and experience. You can bring a song you want to work on (please bring the sheet music for your teacher) or if you are not sure what you want to sing, the first lesson can be used to solely work on singing technique. We highly encourage students to invest in a singing journal for both the student and coach to keep track of exercises, notes, and progress.

FAQ
Students at Express Voice Studio improve at unprecedented speeds. Using Alexander technique and other body awareness / alignment training, our singing teachers highlight what habits are unique to you and causing tension.
Because no two bodies are the same, we cannot teach two students the same way. There are big picture exercises we may prescribe to strengthen your voice, but the thought sequences, physical awareness techniques, and structure of your training is never the same as another students. Approaches to vocal technique must be constantly revised as you improve, the journey of a singer is malleable.
We are your partner in teaching you how to learn, how to work efficiently on your voice, how to push through a vocal plateau, how to build up your confidence before a performance, and this living/breathing format of lessons enables our students to push through plateaus and achieve the best sound they are capable of.
In our hiring process we aim to employ the best singing teachers in Montreal based on performance experience, body awareness training, proficiency in multiple styles of singing, and their capacity to share what they know. However, even working with top vocal coaches: singing lessons can be affordable.
We encourage you to reach out via phone or email to discuss your ideal budget for voice lessons and provide further information on your goals and location. When we know more about you, we can make a suggestion to the teacher who best fits all of your criteria.
We never want the price to stop you from singing, which is why we offer discounts for full time students and artists (any type of artist). Each of our teachers have spent thousands on expensive singing lessons to achieve their level.
You don’t have to.
In general, you can expect to pay between $40-90 CAD / lesson.
Probably not. Very few people are actually tone deaf, but the body has not been trained to know the physical sensation necessary for singing and how that correlates to matching pitch! Teachers can work with you on improving your intonation, but you will probably need to take lessons for an extended period of time to feel that you are consistently hitting pitches acurately. Thats ok! Learning music is a journey.
