Singing Lessons for Grownups

[swanriver]

Anyone ever taken singing lessons to improve their singing voice/style?
I used to sing a lot when younger but don't want to join a choir just now.
Found a good teacher, who is taking me for a short block of lessons. Folk songs etc or grander stuff.

Is it worth learning to sing properly? Never had formal lessons before, just school choirs.

Lots of people take singing lessons as adults. I had singing lessons for several years which helped me with technique, sight reading etc which came in useful when I sang in big symphony choruses. Learning breathing technique also came in useful when DCs were born! If I knew of a good local teacher who could fit me in at times I could manage, I'd have m.ore lessons
