Patient and enthusiastic teacher helping you make the most of your voice
About Me
Lesson Details
Voice and piano lessons are a partnership between the singer and the teacher: we both have a part in you or your child's progress and success. Singing and playing both require a positive attitude, a willingness to try new things and adequate preparation. That's what I hope to see from my students ...

OJ is a Pro!
If you're looking for very specific feedback and professional tips on how to improve your voice, I don't think there's anyone better than OJ. Every minute of our sessions was valuable. OJ helps you tap into your potential and truly deliver a song, not just sing it. With the utmost enthusiasm, I will be continuing my lessons with OJ.

Great vocal coach
Very fun and knowledgeable in his craft, but also serious and determined to take you to the next level. I'm already noticing improvement in my voice. Highly recommended to anyone looking for an Instructor.

He's everything I hoped for
I wanted a teacher that would not only teach me new technique, but help me fix my bad vocal habits. O.J. is excellent at both, and I love how he tells me not only what I should be doing, but telling me biologically why I should do it.

Last Weeks Lesson
Last week’s lesson left much to be desired. The blame was completely mine as the attention need for success is as body and mind as voice. I look forward to next week’s lesson with a little more focus.
– Wauseca B. May 11, 2009
Oj is the Greatest. His voice is amazing, and his advices are so helpful. I never felt so confident and comfortable when i was singing. The best thing about this is the fact that i am having a lot of fun while i am learning.
