Private Lesson

Would you like to work intensively on your voice, technique, and performance? With private singing lessons at the Babette Labeij Music Academy, you receive personal guidance from a professional vocal coach of your choice, fully tailored to your level, goals, and musical preferences.

During private singing lessons, you work one-on-one on topics that matter to you, such as vocal technique, breathing, performance, interpretation, confidence, studio recordings, or preparing for auditions and performances. Whether you are a beginner or already active professionally: our vocal coaches help you get the most out of your voice.

At BLMA, you choose which vocal coach you want to work with. Each coach has their own expertise and style. Finding it difficult to decide which coach suits you best? Our office team is happy to advise you in finding the right match.

Private singing lessons are available at our locations in Amsterdam and Hilversum, as well as online. This way, you can always choose a form of vocal coaching that fits your schedule, level, and preferences.

For young children, we usually recommend starting private singing lessons from around 10 years old. For younger students, group singing lessons often provide a better foundation to playfully develop their voice, musicality, and performance skills.

Private singing lessons are also a great way to work towards specific auditions, performances, studio recordings, or personal goals. Together with your vocal coach, you will work on technique, performance, and developing your own sound and identity as a singer or performer.

PRIVATE LESSONS

We offer private lessons for children, teens, and adults. You can easily schedule your lessons via our online booking system and check our coaches' availability. Would you prefer advice on which coach suits you best? Call us at 020-3200166 or email info@babettelabeij.com, we are happy to help!

Our private lessons are held daily, but coach availability varies. Please keep in mind that lessons can book up quickly and we cannot always guarantee that your preferred coach is available. The schedule is updated weekly.

Age
For children under 10 without (professional) singing experience, we recommend taking a trial lesson in one of our group classes instead of private lessons.

A private lesson lasts 45 minutes. Prices for private lessons vary per coach:

You can easily do so via the confirmation email you received. If you cancel more than 24 hours in advance, you will receive a code to reschedule your lesson.
