Hey guys I’m making plans with my friends to form a band in which I’ll be vocals.
I’ve had good reviews of my singing and if I want to learn a song by ear I can.
Problem is I don’t have that much theory knowledge other than the fact I am learning the keyboard.
I think I will need lessons as I can be a little off key sometimes and I want to better myself.
Since I learn by ear of course don’t have a whole lot of theory knowledge, is this essential for a singer writing original songs? I know a few singers in bands
and they’ve told me they have never really have had any lessons but they want to in future!
Thanks!

It’s always better to have a trained vocalist which knowledge , yep.
If you also can play an instrument that will help you a lot with pitching.
About writing the songs, it’s also better because in that way you could interpret better the song.
Some bands might require you to do so, but if you’re just singing in a band with your friends then they probably won’t require something like that, if anything, only thing they’ll require for you is to sound good. I learned quite a bit about singing just by reading that “Singing for Dummies” book, so although a vocal teacher could help, you can still learn a lot just from a book, a CD containing exercises, memorizing some of your favorite songs, self practice and self discipline.
