Homayoun Shajarian: Classical music singer

There are cases of professional singers who do not study music. These are the exception and not the rule. To become a vocalist, most people at the very least receive voice lessons. These lessons instruct on pitch, tone, and range and provide vocal exercises to help strengthen your voice. Studying music structure and theory is also recommended. Even when you are an established vocalist, you will likely continue to take voice lessons to learn new styles and improve technique.
