How long is each lesson, and how often should I take lessons?

Accepted Answer

Your first singing lesson in Belfast, Enniskillen, or online is a comprehensive 90-minute session. This allows time for a full vocal assessment, goal setting, and an introduction to core technique, ensuring you get the most from your experience right from the start.

After your initial lesson, regular singing lessons are 60 minutes each. Most students benefit from weekly lessons for consistent progress and vocal development. However, I also offer fortnightly or monthly lessons for those who prefer a more flexible schedule.
