Our take

Based on the ratings of 6,108 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in September 2026. No course pays to be reviewed.

Steve Glazer's course is a daily vocal training plan: one short video a day, six days a week, for eight weeks. The syllabus shows 57 lectures and about 3 hours of video across eight sections, from breathing and tone to higher notes, control and singing words. It comes with downloadable exercises, a workbook and a vocal assessment. It is aimed at total beginners and casual singers who want pop, rock, country or R&B technique, and it says plainly that it is not for classical or opera.

Reviewers like how clearly it is built. One says each skill leads into the next and the pacing is good, and others say they can hear themselves improving. Glazer comes across as friendly and encouraging, and at least one student got detailed feedback on a submitted exercise. The complaints are consistent, though. One reviewer calls it a bunch of warm-ups, scales and breathing with no real singing practice, and another wanted guidance on singing actual songs. A reviewer who has a voice coach in college also warned that other coaches may disagree with the approach.

With 6,108 ratings averaging 4.7, it is clearly well liked, and it was updated in September 2026, so it is current. It is a good, low-pressure start for nervous beginners who need a routine to follow. Someone who already sings regularly and wants song coaching or deeper theory will probably find it thin, and may agree with the reviewer who compared it to free YouTube lessons.

Best forBeginners who want a daily, structured routine for pop or rock singing and are nervous about singing out loud.

Skip it ifYou want to learn actual songs, classical or opera technique, or deeper theory than warm-ups and scales.

Pros

Short daily lessons build from breathing and tone to higher notes and vocal control
Downloadable exercises, a 26 page workbook and a vocal assessment come with it
Glazer is described as friendly and encouraging, with detailed feedback on a submitted exercise
Reviewers say each lesson builds on the last at a pace that is not overwhelming

Cons

Mostly warm-ups, scales and breathing; one reviewer found no real singing practice
No guidance on singing actual songs, which one student specifically wished for
Only about 3 hours of video, and not meant for classical or opera singers

This course has improved my confidence in singing. The lessons are clearly structured; the skills learned in the previous directly lead into the next. The pacing is good.

David Sheehy, a student

Beginner level is accurate: no music theory or experience needed, and experienced singers will get less out of it.

Course Description

SINGING SIMPLIFIED will get you on your way to becoming an excellent singer... faster than you thought possible! Believe it or not, you already have the "built-in" ability to be a great singer. You were born with a natural vocal range and I'm going to help you to tap into it - quickly and easily, while having FUN of course! We'll combine technique and everyday emotive sounds in your vocal training to help you understand that singing isn't as difficult or scary as you thought it was.

The course includes:

1 video lesson per day, 6 days a week, for 8 weeks. Over 3 HOURS of high resolution singing lessons!
A Personalized Vocal Assessment
30+ exercises (Mp3's) you can download to practice your lessons anywhere!
The 26 page SINGING SIMPLIFIED Workbook that reviews each video lesson and the exercises from each lesson. An extremely helpful companion throughout the course.
My 66 page e-book: "5 Shortcuts To Great Songwriting". Many teachers have bought this book from me to help them teach their students about music theory and song structure. It's my gift to you!

Also, we're going to train your brain as well. Your mindset and your emotions are so very important when it comes to singing. You'll learn how to let stress and fear fall to the wayside, and focus on the emotion of the song.

This is the perfect course for TOTAL BEGINNERS, to people who have a little experience singing, but haven't taken many singing lessons and don't really understand much about technique or how the voice works. If your goal is to sing Pop, Rock, Country, Blues, R&B, Indie, Alternative... any popular style of music, this course is a great match for you. (This course is NOT for Classical or Operatic singing. Those styles are quite different in their technique.)

In order for this system to work for you...

- You do NOT need any "natural" musical talent, singing talent, or previous vocal training

- You do NOT need to know anything about technique or how your voice works (in fact, the less you know the better, because you'll have fewer bad habits to overcome)

- You do NOT need to understand music theory, or even know how to read music

Hi There! My name is Steve Glazer.

I’ve been a full-time professional singer, guitarist and music coach for two decades. I'm also a published songwriter.

I was personally trained by the same elite vocal coach that taught some of the biggest musical icons in the world.

I’ve been a signed artist to a great Indie label in Austin, TX (Fiesta Red Records) and I’ve performed in major cities all around the United States.

I founded STRUM Music School in Austin, TX where we helped hundreds of aspiring musicians reach their goals and skyrocket their abilities beyond what they ever thought possible. I sold STRUM in 2015 to pursue teaching the rest of the world how to sing. :)

I love it, Steve is amazing and responded to my singing exercise with a very detailed analysis and coaching. I am very grateful Steve, I am improving in ways I didn't know before.

By Henrik H on 8/31/2026

Very basic course, you can lean everything in this course from watching a couple of free youtube videos. It's basically just a bunch of warm up exercises stringed together with a little very basic theory. There is no actual singing practice in the entire course and no proper theory either, it's just scales, breathing and warm up exercises.

By Rajnish Bhatia on 7/8/2026

I am singing since years but have been struggling with my voice. I decided to take a break and go into reset mode to get my voice right. Searched youtube but nothing was convincing. That is where I came across course. I started this course on 05 June and today I completed this course on 09 July, earlier than 8 weeks beacause I concentrated on the aspects I had been struggling. I did most of it very sincerely maintaining a proper daily chart. Today I can say with confidence that I have seen a marked change in my singing abilities including the higher notes. I thank Steve for this methodically structured course and his way of explaining which is very simple and straight.

By David Sheehy on 3/24/2026

This course has improved my confidence in singing. The lessons are clearly structured; the skills learned in the previous directly lead into the next. The pacing is good. The info given is enough to work on without being overwhelming.

By Amrit Mech Baruah on 2/10/2026

Wow, after the breathing control guidance, my voice automatically caught up. I've been singing with my neck strength my whole life, and after the proper breathing techniques and diaphragm control, my singing and chest voice got way better. Thanks, mate, and highly recommended if you want to start your vocal journey.

By Desmond Pringle on 1/15/2026

My first interaction with Steve was very satisfying. His response was timely, and his assessment of my demo, along with his explanation, helped me to feel more confident about my ability to sing. I am committed to making full use of this training.

By Shivansh Yadav on 1/3/2026

One of the MOST well-organised and properly explained courses in here. Anyone new to singing should start here and strictly follow the order and exercises in the course. Worth it.

By Johana Arely Trevizo Najera on 12/6/2025

I'm really enjoying this course. The lessons are clear and easy to follow, which makes the information very accessible. I’m excited to continue and keep practicing!

By Julius Semenas on 12/2/2025

This is a perfect course for complete beginners. It is easy to follow the lessons, and the structure of the entire course is simple yet comprehensive. The teacher is a chill and interactive guy. 10 out of 10.

By Jesus Almao on 11/2/2025

I have nothing but praise for Steve. He makes every concept as simple as possible for beginners. He's also quick to answer messages and give accurate feedback, considering the number of people enrolled in this course.
