Nerves can and do play a part in most peoples very first singing lesson. So going into the unknown can play into those nerves. In this Episode we thought it might be helpful to shine some light on what happens at your very first vocal lesson so that you are not going in there completely blind. At least if you have some expectation of what's going to happen it might help settle some of your anxiety. Of course you can expect there may be some slight differences depending on the teacher however in an overall sense the general rules will be the same.
