Does my child have talent?

This is perhaps the trickiest question to answer because the question leaves out a key detail.  Do you want to know if your child can or already has a beautiful voice? 

I have taught at the high school level for Friendswood, Clear Lake, Texas City and other communities in the area for the past 5 years.  I can say without any doubt whatsoever that most children, once they have voice lessons with me, have the ability to have a pleasing sound that can entertain and move people emotionally.  I am even willing to say that the vast majority of these students, if they apply themselves to their lessons and work hard, can have voices that people will marvel at and state "You should be a professional". 

The reality is that most school-age children are so ingrained in music and the arts that some vocal training enables these kids to have wonderful sounds, regardless of their starting point.  Some come in with obvious talents; others have vocal flaws that disguise their talent, but all can develop a great instrument with the right teaching.
