The #1 Mistake Parents Make When Their Kid Wants Singing Lessons (And What to Do Instead)

If your kid is begging for singing lessons, please read this before you spend $80/hour on the wrong teacher.

I’m Samuel Picou — vocal coach, former NBC’s The Voice contestant. I get emails every week from moms who say:

“We paid for 6 months of lessons and my child quit. She used to love singing. What happened?”

The Mistake: Treating Kids Like Mini-Adults

Most “kid singing teachers” use the same drills they’d use on a 30-year-old. Long scales. Theory. Boring repetition. Kids play their way to skill.

Your kid needs:

  • Warm-ups that feel like games
  • Songs they actually want to sing
  • Wins they can hear in the first week
  • A coach who’s been on a real stage

Watch How a Real Kid Warm-Up Should Look

What to Look For in a Kid Vocal Coach

  1. Has performed professionally (not just taught)
  2. Has a structured program (not random)
  3. Gives a clear path: warm-up → range → song → performance
  4. Makes your kid laugh in lessons
