Palo Alto voice FAQs
Opus 1 starts private voice lessons at age 7 at our Palo Alto Campus. Children under that age are welcome to join Music for Young Children, our group program starting at age 3, which builds the rhythm, pitch, and ear-training foundation that makes private voice lessons successful when the student is ready. A short trial lesson is the easiest way to confirm a child is developmentally prepared.

An adult trial lesson runs 45 minutes for $35 or 60 minutes for $45, so you can meet a teacher before committing — and there's no annual contract.
