Yes having a voice teacher makes all the difference. i couldn't sing at all until i went to a teacher. I got my moneys worth in the very first lesson: open your mouth!
Hi! Question about studying with a Soprano teacher as a Baritone who struggles matching pitch. My teacher is great, but I wonder if it would be more beneficial to study with a teacher with a lower voice type in my situation as she can only demonstrate so much vocally for me, and I struggle with pitch and deciphering what octave/part of my voice I should be singing in can be a challenge. She does try to describe it to me the best she can/plays the notes down the octave, but I am still not sure if I should be singing low, middle, high in my range etc. Further, I notice sometimes in some of your other videos that it sounds like you play the treble clef version of the note on a staff (example G4) on the piano and demonstrate it as more of like a falsetto note for male voice, and then sometimes you play the same treble staff note on the piano, but sing instead an octave lower in a fuller voice. Do you play them interchangably when teaching baritone voices? How do I interpret what octave I am singing in when looking at sheet music when it is written in treble clef? Is it an octave lower? Would it be at the bottom, middle, or falsetto part of my range? Just asking because I can hear the difference, but I can't translate it to my voice when singing, and though my teacher is doing what she can, I want to make sure there is no confusion on my end because of the difference in voice type etc. Any insight would be super helpful, thank you!

That's great! Finding a great voice teacher is like finding a gold nugget!
