A lot of time singers who are just beginning, and who are learning how to start writing song lyrics, wonder if it is worth it to take singing lessons and vocal training... the short answer from Music by Mandi is YES. We like to think of singing, songwriting, and performing as a skill, a skill that needs to be worked on, practiced, and honed in, in order to get better. 

Of course there is some talent involved in regards to singing, but that is true of many things for example dancing or playing baseball. The voice is a tool that must be worked on in order to improve its quality and skill. Singing lessons are an amazing way to ensure the voice is being PROPERLY worked and also to ensure it is not overworked. Taking care of your voice as a singer is extremely important.

Think of the comparison to Piano lessons, the more practice and techniques are introduced the better the piano players gets! This is very similar to the voice and singing. So in short, are singing lessons worth it ? YES!

devils advocate- It is important for singers, songwriters, and performers to have their own unique style as well. So while making sure to take lessons to improve your voice and singing techniques, it is also important to hold onto what makes your singing unique, and differentiates you as an artist.
