How to Prepare for Your First In-Person Singing Lesson
If you’re here, chances are that you just made a booking with one of our coaches for a lesson at our studio. Congrats on taking the first step towards better singing!
In this post:
4 sets of things to prepare for your lesson
1. Scheduling
2. Songs
3. Water
4. Dressing
Location
1. Map + Link
2. Location in mall
Step 1: Scheduling
It is recommended that you reach Beauty World Centre around 10 minutes before your lesson to reduce the chances of you having to rush due to unforeseen circumstances and then start your lesson feeling stressed out.
First lessons with Kenogi will be at Studio I on Level 2 by default. If it’s at Studio II on Level 3, and the curtains are drawn together (closed), please wait outside until you are asked to come in.
Even though we do our best to block in transition times and end before the next lesson, we may end up giving a student just a bit more time and end up having to start a bit later.
Sometimes it may be you, and sometimes it may be the student before you. Please understand that, and be prepared that we may start a couple minutes late!
Step 2: Prepare Two Songs
Do you want to improve your range? Strength? Stamina? Pitch?
Pick two songs (one main and one backup) that will allow us to work on that one thing that you struggle with slightly (e.g. high notes, strength, control).
If it's too easy we won't have much to work on and if it's too difficult it's probably gonna take more time to see results.
Prepare:
- Backing tracks for both songs (e.g. YouTube link, or mp3 file) that the coach can play via the sound system
Step 3: Bring Water
Stay hydrated!
Step 4: Dressing
We will be taking a video of the lesson for progress-tracking purposes and for you to rewatch it after the lesson, and there’s a chance we may use parts of your lesson for online content. (i.e. feel free to dress up!)
If you are not comfortable with your video being used for content, please let us know over WhatsApp before the lesson.
Summary: Before Lesson Checklist
1. Schedule to reach Beauty World Centre 10 minutes before your lesson
2. Two Songs: Backing tracks (YouTube link or mp3 file) + lyrics (printed, if possible)
3. A bottle of water
4. Feel free to dress up so you look good on video!
5. Let us know in advance over WhatsApp if you’re not comfortable with your video being used for content
