Tell us what you want to work on and we match you with one of more than 150 vetted vocal coaches, taking your own criteria into account. The first lesson is a free trial lesson with no obligation, and you decide after it whether to carry on.
After the trial you and your coach agree on a weekly slot. Every lesson runs 45 minutes, one-on-one and live over video, and the hourly rate starts at $29 in a monthly plan. You can move a lesson or switch coaches in the booking tool.
Singing is technique before it is talent, and technique answers to work. The first audible changes - steadier breath, a cleaner start to a phrase, a note that stops sliding - usually come after a few weeks of regular practice. How far you go from there depends on how often you practice between lessons, which is what the exercises in your SIRIUS Workspace are for.
No one is too late to begin singing: a private voice lesson lets you work on the range you already have, one-on-one, without singing in front of a group. For a child, a one-on-one lesson keeps all 45 minutes on one voice rather than on a room full of them.
Beginners need no prior experience at all. Every voice can be trained, and the first lessons are about breath, support and intonation rather than repertoire. Our coaches work with complete beginners as often as with experienced singers, and every lesson is built around your own voice and your own goals.

West Des Moines teaches singing in two commercial places - a band-based school where 9 of 17 staff entries are vocal teachers, and an instrument dealer with a teaching counter - but a studio devoted to voice alone is not something we found here. Des Moines lies 8.5 miles off. An online lesson keeps the hour and drops the drive.
Online lessons take the travel out of the week: no drive, no parking, and a slot that stays the same even when the rest of the week does not. Your coach hears you live over video, sees your posture and your breathing, and can record a phrase for you to copy back between lessons. If a coach turns out not to fit, you switch in the booking tool.
SIRIUS has over 150 singing teachers, part of more than 400 music teachers across vocals, piano and guitar. Every one of them is vetted and handpicked before a single lesson, carries a SIRIUS certification, and stays in regular training and quality control. We teach every level and every age, from a first lesson to stage-ready.
You are matched rather than assigned: tell us your style, your goals and your schedule, and we find the coach who fits them. Lessons run live over video on software we developed ourselves for music lessons, so the sound carries the detail a voice lesson depends on, with nothing to install. In the SIRIUS Workspace you keep the exercises and the recordings from your lessons.
More hours = a better price per hour. Every plan: 45-min one-on-one lessons with vetted teachers.

A lesson is 45 minutes, and in a monthly plan the hourly rate starts at $29. Your trial lesson is free. A plan covers two, three or four hours a month on a three- or six-month membership; more hours and a longer term bring the hourly rate down. You can pause or adjust your plan at any time. An instrument dealer in West Des Moines prints $112 for four half-hour lessons and $210 for four hour-long ones, the same rate across all 7 of its teacher cards.
Yes. Singing is a trainable skill: breath, support and intonation all answer to practice, and you need no prior experience to start. True amusia, an actual inability to hear pitch, affects only about one person in seventy, and almost nobody who believes they cannot sing turns out to be one of them. The free trial lesson is the cheapest way to hear where your voice stands.
A private lesson and a group class do different jobs. One-on-one, every correction is about your voice - where the breath gives out, where the register changes - and all 45 minutes are yours. A choir or a class gives you what a lesson cannot: other voices around you, and the experience of singing on a stage. The group option in West Des Moines is a church choir: one congregation names four ensembles with printed rehearsal times, and its adult chancel choir is open to high school singers and adults.
Most voice teachers start children at around seven to nine, when a child can hold attention for a full 45-minute lesson; the free trial lesson is where you and the coach find out whether yours is ready. A teenager whose voice is changing can keep singing right through it, and that is when a coach matters most. Adults start with us at every age, and nobody is too late.
Yes, and the reason is specific to singing. A voice lesson is mostly listening, demonstrating and repeating, and none of that needs the same room. Your coach watches breath and posture on camera and sends you a recording of the phrase to practice against. In-person singing here runs through the schools and one congregation, and the two commercial providers are a band school and a dealer teaching counter; Des Moines sits 8.5 miles out.

The school district here runs eleven schools and reaches one of them into a neighboring city. Its high school lists 10 named singing groups - four choirs, three show choirs and three jazz choirs - and the district arts page puts more than 400 students in the vocal programs of that school and its freshman campus. A 1,100-seat performing arts center stands on the same grounds, and the singing has a booster club of its own beside the band one, which reports $170,500 a year.
A federal register of tax-exempt organizations lists 65 bodies at West Des Moines addresses and not one of them under its arts code. One congregation in the city prints four ensembles with set rehearsal times, among them an adult chancel choir open to high school singers and adults alike.
