Alex’s journey from guitar to confident singing

Alex, a young musician with two years of experience in the music industry, started as a guitarist but soon developed a passion for singing. Playing guitar inspired him to explore singing more seriously, and he wanted to give his all to both instruments.

When Alex began looking for singing lessons, he found Kaden Forsberg, an expert vocal coach on Wiingy and decided to give it a try.

From the very first free trial lesson, he noticed improvements and felt motivated to continue working with Kaden, confident that he would progress quickly.

If you’re a beginner or multi-instrumentalist wanting to strengthen your singing voice, Alex’s story shows how the right tutor can make a difference fast.

Why Alex started singing lessons

Alex was driven by a desire to improve and give his best in everything he does. Having spent years playing guitar in a group, he realized that adding singing would expand his musical abilities.

He also wanted to overcome his tendency to sing tensely and nervously in front of others.

Searching for a fresh approach, Alex discovered Kaden Forsberg on Wiingy and decided to start singing lessons online, a different experience that immediately showed promise.

Real class insight: What Alex worked on with Kaden

Alex’s lessons with Kaden focused on practical techniques combined with encouragement and personalized feedback.

Singing with the diaphragm and relaxing the body

One key lesson that stuck with Alex was learning to sing from the diaphragm while relaxing his whole body.

“I used to sing really tense and hold back a lot,” Alex explained. “Kaden showed me how relaxing helps my voice come out naturally.”

This shift helped Alex gain confidence and reduce nervousness when singing, especially in front of others.

Overcoming embarrassment and unlocking vocal range

Alex shared a moment when he was surprised to hit higher notes despite having a naturally low voice.

“Kaden uses silly, fun ways to teach,” he said. “He’s a visual learner and had me imagine singing higher from up here. We both laughed when I hit that note.”

These playful methods helped Alex break mental barriers and build trust in his voice.

Quick progress after just two lessons

Despite only taking two lessons so far, Alex has noticed clear improvement.

“Kaden immediately identifies what I struggle with and helps me fix it during class,” Alex said. “I see progress even after the first lesson.”

The outcome: Growing skill, confidence, and joy in singing

Thanks to Kaden’s supportive teaching and tailored exercises, Alex is steadily building his vocal skills and self-assurance.

He’s learning to sing with ease from his diaphragm, relax his body, and hit notes he once thought were out of reach.

Online lessons give him the freedom to practice anywhere, fitting music into his busy lifestyle.

“I started playing guitar three years ago in high school,” Alex shared. “Singing and guitar help me relieve stress and express myself. Now I’m excited to keep improving.”

Bonus insight: Online lessons offer flexibility and surprising effectiveness

Like many beginners, Alex was initially skeptical about learning to sing online, concerned that his tutor might miss important body language cues and feedback opportunities. 

However, he quickly discovered that technology features like noise cancellation allow his tutor, Kaden Forsberg, to hear every nuance clearly.

Plus, the convenience of taking lessons from anywhere makes online coaching both flexible and highly effective.
