So a couple of months ago, I decided that I wanted to take voice lessons. I have been singing for quite some while, so my technique is already developed but it needs work. I don't consider myself, by any means, an amazing or perfect singer. I DO need work with my voice. So, I get this voice teacher, someone who has never heard me sing, and on our first day of lessons, we take our entire lesson time to determine repertoire that I would be working on. Not the best choice, but I didn't mind. Then the 2nd lesson, we jumped straight into repertoire. And again for the 3rd lesson, and 4th, and so forth and so on. I am paying to be taught in these voice lessons, NOT learn repertoire. I can learn repertoire very easily myself. Someone who solely goes over repertoire with a student is a vocal COACH, not a vocal TEACHER!! So why have the label if you are going to do something completely different?? I have no clue. I never warmed up once, worked on breathing, or went over any technical aspects of singing whatsoever. I feel like I paid for a vocal coach rather than a vocal teacher. And if I were hiring a vocal coach, it wouldn't be the 'coach' that I ended it up. Nothing that I have done in a lesson (if that's what you call it) with this teacher consisted of learning. It was all vocal coaching. To me, this is very UNPROFESSIONAL!
