acousjim, my sister-in-law teaches singing lessons. she charges $10 for a half hour, and $18 for an hour (what a deal, heh). thats canadian, too. i think prices might hover around there, unless the teacher is some kind of pro or something.

I've taken vocal lessons and coaching. They're great for technique but useless to "learn" to sing. Singing is genetic: you either have a good voice, an okay voice, or no voice. My one friend has improved slightly in 3 years, but he still can't sing constantly on pitch. I've been able to sing on pitch, have perfect pitch, and recall pitch. It's just hereditary. Sorry.

I know that I was just trying to play/sing a song not too long ago and for some reason I'd either play it too fast or my singing really sucked. I don't know if many people here would agree with me, but you know you have a song down pat when you don't have to think about what your playing or what your singing. Also to help with your timing get a metronome. :)

Nope but I have two brothers.
