Singing lessons for adults who think they can’t

Adult Voice & Singing Lessons
in Chicago.

Most people who think they “can’t sing” have just never been taught how the voice works. These lessons are function-based, built on Somatic Voicework, so progress is something you can hear and repeat, not guesswork. Pop, musical theater, jazz, whatever you want to sing. In-person at the studio in Ukrainian Village, or online via Zoom.

How the lessons work

Less “support from the diaphragm,” more understanding your instrument.

We start by figuring out how your voice actually works right now, then build from there: breath, registration, resonance, and the coordination that lets you sing higher, longer, and with less strain. No mystery, no pushing through pain, just function you can feel and repeat.

Lessons are shaped around the music you want to sing, contemporary pop, musical theater, jazz, or simply rebuilding a voice that’s been quiet for years. Many adults arrive nervous and leave a first lesson genuinely surprised at what their voice can already do.

Who this is for

Beginners, returners, and the “I’m not a singer” crowd.

Adults of every level: total beginners, people who sang years ago and want it back, and singers polishing technique for auditions or performance. Teens are welcome too.

Voice students usually start with a free 15-minute call rather than a piano trial, so we can talk through your goals and any history first. Lessons are private, 50 minutes, Monday through Thursday, 3 to 9pm. Pricing runs from a single lesson ($125) to the Semester Pack ($1,600 for 16).

Taught by Nick Olynciw, trained in Somatic Voicework (the LoVetri Method) for contemporary singing. Lessons are patient, judgment-free, and built entirely around you.

Common questions

Quick answers about voice lessons.

I don’t think I can sing. Should I still book?

Yes. “I can’t sing” almost always means “I’ve never been shown how.” That’s exactly what these lessons fix.

What styles do you teach?

Contemporary singing, pop, rock, musical theater, jazz, and more. Somatic Voicework is built for exactly these styles, not just classical.

How do I start with voice?

Book a free 15-minute call. We’ll talk through your goals and find a time, no pressure and no audition.
