Can you sing already and even get compliments about your singing? Hold a tune quite well? Or are you a complete novice and not even sure if you're singing on key most of the time? Whatever category you fit into, you can benefit from learning how to sing - lessons are your first step!

I thought that just because I had been singing in my church for many years, and I could hold a tune quite well, that I didn't need any singing lessons. I only sang because I loved it and knew that I wasn't trying to make money or become famous. But that attitude really limited how far I could go as a singer.

On my very first signing lesson I learnt how to breathe... and how much of a difference it makes to breathe properly. I know this may seem like a simple thing and you shouldn't need lessons to accomplish it, but it really does make a difference to how you sing and sets the basis for improving your singing more and more.

I was lucky enough to be getting lessons from a woman who was a fantastic singer herself, and I loved the lessons and how much I was learning and improving. Unfortunately I came to a time in my life where I was not able to afford the lessons anymore. Though disappointed, I was determined to keep up the progress and started to look online for an alternative to one-on-on lessons.

And what I found was that there are plenty of singing courses on the internet. The benefit of the online world is that the lessons can be 'delivered' to you at a time and place that's convenient to you. You can go over anything that you don't understand, and you can practice over and over again using the audio tracks that they supply.
