At the basic entry point, the singing teacher may operate out of a favoured local studio and will charge per hour, usually at a cost of around £25 per one-hour session. For very well know vocal coaches, the fee can climb considerably, especially for those who are paid directly by a record company or artist management agency. In these cases, the vocal coach can expect to receive anything up to £500 per hour whilst working with major label artists or developing talents signed to these labels.
