Produce a Healthy Competitive Sound/Find Truth in Your Work

Ella and I think Joshua is fabulous! He is a technically excellent and enthusiastic teacher with great personality. My only request is that he has Ella sing a song or two during each lesson as doing so will keep her interest up. She knows the basics are important but is a bit frustrated that she hasn't had the chance to sing much. Although she understands the importance of learning the skills, she is only 10 and I think singing a song or two with Joshua giving her tips will actually make her more committed to practicing and focusing on technique.
Overall we are thrilled with Joshua and recommending him to friends!

A really top notch teacher. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a teacher that will expand and push their skills. Joshua is extremely adept at identifying and working on your weaker spots while at the same time perfecting your strengths, but in all in a constructive way. He does a great job at explaining the concepts of singing in an understandable and comprehensible way, so that one can really understand how to advance and correct bad habits. However, FYI he is not a teacher for students who just want someone to praise their every note or just to practice a song or two, he for those who want to become better singers. Like a good trainer he will adjust to your level and push you. I can only imagine where I'll be 6 months to a year from now!

I agree with everything in all of the other comments about Joshua. I was immediately impressed with how approachable he is, and he is very good at explaining how and why we do certain exercises. I've only had a few lessons so far, but I really trust that he will be able to get me to where I want to go with my singing.

I really couldn't ask for a better teacher. I feel like I've made real progress over the 7 months that I've been taking lessons, and Joshua's engaging personality make the lesson a highlight of my week. Learning proper technique is a slow process, but it's well worth it.

Joshua is an excellent teacher who really knows what he's talking about when it comes to singing. He does not believe in any "quick fixes" but instead wants you to learn to sing correctly and not develop bad habits that might limit your singing in the future. I've been taking lessons with Joshua for a little under a year now. At times I get frustrated with myself when I have an on-going problem with some aspect of my voice, and I would often like to give up and just move onto something I'm better at. But one of the best things about Joshua is that he does not let his students off easy. Learning to sing isn't an easy process, but if you're serious about learning, Joshua is awesome at helping you challenge yourself.

Joshua is a very great teacher. He listens to what you have to say and is knowledgeable on many subjects in the field of entertainment. He knows how to reel me in when i get confuse about singing. I know and feel confortable to ask him any questions. He always tell me on each lesson to feel free to call or text him if i need him or need questions answered.
His warmth comes through every time i see him. I would and will recommend him anytime some one ask me if i know a voice teacher. Joshua you are the best.

Josh was a great instructor who consistently showed enthusiasm and patience, especially during the hard stages. I always looked forward to the classes and felt even better afterwards. He knows what he's talking about so the best thing you can do is trust him. I'm sorry I couldn't stay in DC otherwise I would have definitely maintained our lessons. Thanks Josh.

Joshua is a good instructor. He is very patient and genuinely wants his students to reach their fullest potential in an organized way. I am a professional dancer who randomly needed help with a song for an audition. Unexpectedly, he has also tried to help me find other avenues of professional work in the arts so help me expand my talents and my career.

Josh is a great instructor! Although we've one lesson only so far, I enjoyed working with him and am eager for the next.

Thanks Take Lessons for your help. For me as a student’s this late in my life I've had this dream that I wanted to sing with a choir and even do a solo part someday and not knowing if I had the ability to do so or not. You placed me with a great instructor who was easy to work with, incredibly patient, completely honest in his assessment of my ability to sing.
He displayed such great knowledge base to me when he was instructing me on the variable that is needed to be able to sing. He helped me to gain some confidence where as I can be an intricate part of the choir that I am now singing in at my church and not wonder if I am singing off note.
Joshua has just been outstanding in helping me realize my ability to sing. When I can resume the lessons again I truly hope that he is still around to help me to continue my learning!
Thanks again take Lessons!

I am a very new actor, and Joshua has allowed me to look at acting in a completely different way. By helping me understand the core principles and underlying concepts of acting, I've learned how to create a strong foundation from which to build. I still have a lot to learn, but I'm confident that with Joshua as an instructor I will continue to grow as an actress. I look forward to my lessons every week, and I'm excited to continue working with him in the future.
