Space requirements:
To effectively give voice lessons you are not going to need a very large space. You are going to need to have a room that is big enough to hold a piano, if you plan to use a piano to accompany the voice lessons. You are also going to need to have a room that does not produce an echo because that can affect the quality of the voice lessons that you are giving. The best thing to do is to have a spare room in your house turned into a music studio and have it equipped with the proper equipment for voice lessons.

Time requirements:
With voice lessons, you are going to be the one who determines how much time is required. You are going to need to spend some time advertising your business, even after you get started so that you can gather new students. You are also going to need to spend some time doing bookwork each week, but most of the time required for your business is going to be teaching voice lessons to your students. You are the one who is in charge of your schedule so you can determine how many students you can teach a day and what hours you are going to want to work each day. Keep in mind that most lessons should be planned for the early evening and on weekends because of people having to work during the day.

Income potential:
4 - Voice lessons are a great moneymaker for people who are starting their own business from home. The only drawback to giving voice lessons is that they are not as popular as other music lessons. Piano lessons are among the most in demand; you usually find people who are trying to become actors or singers are the ones who want to take voice lessons. Even though they are not as in demand as other music lessons you can still charge anywhere from $50 to $100 per lesson or you can charge per hour depending on which works the best for you. Demographics play a big factor in what you can charge for voice lessons. For example, you can charge over $100 a lesson in New York, but in South Dakota, you can only charge about $50 a lesson.

Keys to success:

• The first thing that you are going to need to be successful in giving voice lessons is a great voice. People are not going to want to pay for voice lessons from somebody who does not know how to sing because it will be a waste of time. In addition, they do not want to listen to somebody who cannot sing try to sing, when they are showing them what to do.


• Another thing that you are going to need to be successful in voice lessons is a thorough understanding of the different techniques used to give voice lessons. You are going to need to be familiar with the different tones and pitches of people's voices, but you are also going to need to understand breathing techniques in order to teach them to your students.


• Advertising your business is another key to success because if people do not know about your voice lessons you will not have any students. You can use a variety of advertising techniques to market your business.

• In teaching voice lessons one risk you have is over doing yourself, which means you can lose your voice. This is a small risk but needs to be taken into consideration so you do not stretch yourself to thin when scheduling lessons.


• The biggest risk that you have in giving voice lessons is your students not showing up for a lesson without prior notice, which means they try not to pay you for that lesson. To avoid this have lessons prepaid a few weeks in advance and have it sated in the contract that so much time must be given to receive credit for a cancelled lesson.
