Singing Lessons in Canoga Park
By Toni K. - Canoga Park Singing Instructor
Are you interested in taking singing lessons in Canoga Park? Looking to take your singing abilities to the next level? In addition to your private singing lessons in Canoga Park, performance is key to developing your skill as a singer. So, how does someone hone their craft while taking singing lessons in Canoga Park? Rack up those hours of experience until singing in public is just, well, something you do.
Typically, during my first or second singing lesson with new students, I inquire into how they are practically applying their skills. Do you sing in your school choir? Your church choir? Do you have a band? Do you donate your skills for community fundraising events? Nothing replaces going out and practicing what you’ve learned in your singing lessons in Canoga Park.
In Los Angeles, there are many places to perform and see live shows. The Viper Room, the Room 5 Lounge, Hotel Café, the list goes on. But if you have to drive an hour, park, and wait for a spot on the roster, you might not take advantage of these opportunities very often. However, lucky for you, there are many local venues in and near Canoga Park where you can just pop in for an open mic night every week! I promise you, singing students who take advantage of these performance opportunities get better faster.
So, if you want to become a better singer and performer, check out nearby venues in your own neighborhood for their open mic nights. While some showcase rooms serve alcohol and require proof of age, there are places open to all levels of artistry, style and age. Here are some venues worth investigating:
Open mic nights near Canoga Park include: Tuesdays: The Rack in Westfield’s Promenade Woodland Hills (http://therack.us/) Wednesdays: The Guitar Merchant on Topanga Canyon Blvd. (http://www.guitarmerchant.com/) Thursdays: Rock and Roll Pizza in Moorpark (http://www.rockandrollpizza.com/rockandrollpizza.com/Home.html)
Beyond improving as a singer, embrace the art of performing. Connect with the audience, line up songs to your best advantage, and handle yourself when things go wrong and/or right! (Always have an encore ready, for instance!) Great performers don’t sing to impress, they sing because they love to sing, because they have a story to tell or because, well, what else would they do?
Do you really want to get to the next level? Begin to tame those nerves? Step into the magic of connecting your skills to your artistic style while creating your on-stage persona? Find a local spot and sign up to sing. Nothin’ to it but to do it! That’s what singing lessons in Canoga Park are for!

About Tanisha
In addition to teaching music, Tanisha has enjoyed a successful career in the entertainment
*** Lesson Details ***
I am a very fun loving person and believe in creating a positive environment where students feel comfortable to be themselves. At the same time I am a stickler for details and do not allow laziness. I believe a balance of fun with excellence has allowed my students to excel far beyond their own expectations. Good results takes HARD WORK! Please do not come to lessons with the expectation to sing like Beyoncé or play piano at Carnegie Hall after 4 lessons. Mastering your voice and instrument takes equal parts of time, hard work, dedication and patience.
My teaching style is individually based.
For vocal clients, I asses their strengths and weaknesses and develop a plan to build up their weak areas while helping them find "their own voice". I focus on breathing, intonation and control which I believe are the foundation of great singing ability. I use a classical Italian based program along with pop, R&B, jazz, and rock. I have vocal coached in many languages including Spanish, Japanese and Chinese.
For piano clients I focus on strength, dexterity and precision in fingering. I also help students learn to feel the music and bring their personality and touch to each piece they are performing.
*** Studio Equipment ***
Tanisha currently teaches at her performing arts academy the White H Arts Academy. There are private instruction rooms and a lobby waiting area for parents and guests. Parents may also sit in the lesson room if desired. Private lesson rooms include a piano, speakers, and a music stand.
The White H Arts Academy also has two state of the art mirrored dance rooms with sound systems and wireless microphones for practicing stage performances or rehearsing for a big show.
*** Specialties ***
Vocals: beg to adv
Piano: beg to inter
Vocal genres are classical (opera), pop, R&B, gospel, rock, jazz, blues and musical theater. I studied voice at Berklee College of Music. Have also studied Seth Riggs SLS (Speech Level Singing) method independently, however, I am not certified. I also teach in languages other than English including Spanish, Japanese and Chinese.
Piano instruction levels I teach are basic to intermediary focusing on classical, and general accompaniment abilities.

About Moa
I sing my heart out. I slam the guitar. I turn my feelings into songs. I help other people make music.
Lover of the beach.
Swedish native in California.
Long version:
My story began in my neighborsâ backyard in the deep woods of southern Sweden where we would lip sync to Spice Girls in the late 90s. I would kick my foot in the air, as the true Sporty Spice I was. Or was trying to be.
A few years later, when I was 12, I discovered a worn out, leather hard case covered with stickers laying around in my house. I opened it and discovered this big chunk of wood with four strings on it.
Disappointment arose when I tried strumming it and it didnât really make any noise. However, turned out we had a similar looking thing at my school and my teacher showed me how to plug it in to a speaker. Noise: check. Since then
I spent my teenage years playing in bands and eventually moved on to the guitar. I played actively all over Sweden but told everyone that I was gonna move to LA to further my career. And in 2012 that dream became reality.
Since then Iâve been fortunate enough in this rollercoaster called the music industry/life to combine my two biggest passions in life, music and traveling, and have toured all over the US, the UK, played Warped Tour, US Air Force Bases in the Middle East and Japan and even cruise ships in the Caribbean (my favorite place on earth), all with several different bands. Somewhere along the way I also started passing on my knowledge and coaching music, with a contemporary pop/rock approach and focus on getting more girls into music.
When Iâm not performing or teaching, I write music for film and television. You can hear me on the latest season of Vanderpump Rules on Bravo.

I love to sing, and so should you! In our singing lessons, I like to make the lesson specific to your individual needs and goals. We start with warm ups, focus on different techniques and styles, breathing/breath control, song choice, performance, and more!
About Brianna
History has always fascinated me. The way our world has developed and changed and continues to evolve is amazing. Everything can be tied back to the past, and I feel it's important to take a look back, put yourself in that time, and really study how things were to help understand why things are the way they are now.
Crocheting and knitting are a couple of good habits/hobbies I picked up about 10 years ago. I sell scarves online and I'm always working on some sort of project. I will have you knitting and pearling with the best of them!
Music, history, crochet, and knitting....I'm your girl!
