Amateur Singers

At Dan Thaler Voice Studio, we have welcomed countless clients into our studio who sing regularly in non-professional settings, those returning to voice lessons after many years, and also very first-time singers! We are passionate about the belief that anyone can and EVERYONE SHOULD SING! Whether you're looking to sing for fun, a special event, or as a personal challenge, our expert team will help you build a strong technical foundation while enjoying the benefits of voice study and singing.

Your Questions, Answered!

  • Our studio is inclusive and welcoming to all. We only require an intro call to place you with the best voice teacher.

    So whether you’re the Broadway kid who’s already a seasoned professional, the corporate executive looking for a life-changing form of expression, a retiree who used to sing in choirs, or someone living with an illness that singing can help mitigate; We have the perfect teacher and class for you.

  • Lessons are 55 minutes in length. 50 minutes of instruction with the last 5 minutes for review and scheduling.

  • We accept payment via Venmo, Zelle or Paypal.

    Payment in full is expected before or at the lesson, and payments made by credit card are subject to a fee.

  • DTVS has a 36 hour cancellation and rescheduling policy. With less than 36 hours notice, if the teacher can not fill the lesson time, payment in full will be expected. In the event that you need to cancel your lesson, please notify the studio or the teacher via email.

  • DTVS is proud to be the home to a full team of industry veterans. Each of our voice teachers brings decades of experience to the studio. Still, some of our teachers work better with dancers, kids, teens, dancers, classical singers, etc. It doesn't matter where you are on your singing journey. Or if you haven’t yet begun one.
