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 Rachelle
Hello! My name is Rachelle and I'm a professional singer, songwriter and pianist from Victoria, BC, Canada. My background in music is a blend of Pop, Rock, Jazz Classical, Blues and R&B. I was featured in Keyboard Magazine’s November 2012 Issue as one of the 6 Best Keyboard Heroes to watch out for.
Some of my performance highlights have been opening up for Nelly Furtado in 2001 in our hometown Victoria BC, and again on her "Loose" tour in 2007 at Roger's Arena in Vancouver, BC for an audience of 15,000. I've taught for six years helping foster my student’s talents and reach their musical goals. Past students have attained lead roles in high school musicals, toured in professional
bands locally and internationally.

Some of my performance highlights have been opening up for Nelly Furtado in 2001 in our hometown Victoria BC, and again on her "Loose" tour in 2007 at Roger's Arena in Vancouver, BC for an audience of 15,000. I've taught for six years helping foster my student’s talents and reach their musical goals. Past students have attained lead roles in high school musicals, toured in professional
bands locally and internationally.
When it comes to teaching music a “cookie cutter" approach is never used. I understand everyone has a unique learning s
tyle and I try my best to cater my lessons around each student's individual needs and goals. I was fortunate enough to grow up in an incredibly musical household. My dad toured with Bryan Adams as his guitarist and my mom’s worked with heavy weights such as David Foster as a professional vocalist. I was mentored by some of the best in the music business since childhood. I started learning piano at the age of four and started recording vocals for radio commercials at the age of six. The experience I've acquired over the years from recording in world class studios and touring internationally I believe has given me invaluable insight to impart with my students. I’m very passionate about teaching. Whether you want to learn how to play your favorite song on the piano or polish your vocal skills to sing professionally on a big stage in front of a large crowd, I’m your gal!
*** Lesson Details ***
I understand that starting lessons can feel a bit scary and outside of ones comfort zone. It takes courage to try something new! I take pride in creating a fun, stress free learning environment, as I know it's incredibly important. I like to encourage having the best of both worlds when it comes to learning voice and piano. That means introducing some sight-reading as well as how to play freestyle, or without sheet music. What to expect upon your first lesson would be an easygoing assessment as well as something to take home and practice. I want to find out what your music tastes and background are and your personal goals, what you would like to get out of lessons. I tailor lessons around each student and their personal learning style.
Piano students: The following is an example of what students can expect to learn, proper technique, sight reading, chords and popular song progressions, how to develop a piece of music, rhythmic training, ear training, how to play their favorite song(s). I use a combo of music books, Alfred Series, Bastien and Dozen a Day for technique and finger exercises as well write out music for students too on the song they would like to learn. I make a list of songs you would like to learn and also suggest some too that I think you would like and can also further develop your piano playing skills.
Voice Lessons: I’m a firm believer that we can learn a lot from hearing ourselves back on recordings. We are our own toughest critic. Recording ourselves singing helps us hear where our strengths and weaknesses are. It might seem a little uncomfortable at first listening back, I know! However, it offers fresh perspective for us to able to take our voices to the next level. I record using an app on my iPhone or iPad and encourage my students to record as well. If they do not have a recording device I email the recording to them to study along with the notes and exercises they are given to work on. This enables the students to witness their personal progress from lesson to lesson! It’s a great learning tool!
The following is an example of what voice students can expect to learn: proper breathing techniques, how improve tone and extend their range, how to develop agility, pop riffs, and dynamic control, how to prepare for auditions, live shows and studio recording and much more!
What I expect from my students: To come to lessons with an open mind, a readiness to learn, to try new things and to apply what they learn each lesson to continue making weekly steady progress ☺ We only get out of something what we put into it right?
I like to be as flexible as possible, I understand that often times students have many other things going on in their lives whether it be sports, school or work etc. We go at a pace you feel comfortable with but enough where you feel you are getting a bit of a challenge each week to be growing. Let’s make some beautiful music together!
*** Studio Equipment ***
Yamaha Mox8 (88 weighted keys). Acoustic Guitar, Sound System, Allen & Heath Mixing board, SM58 Mic, Mic Stand, Music Stand, Shecter Electric Guitar, Pro Tools 9, Duet Apogee
*** Travel Equipment ***
I expect my student to provide a keyboard at least 77-88keys or piano. i can provide a powered speaker, sm58 mic, mic stand for practicing voice and performance.

In just my first few lessons with Rachelle, I learned more about the anatomical aspect of singing than I had in 10 years of choir/singing. She put great emphasis on the technique and skill aspects, while still balancing it with emotional connection. Perhaps my favorite thing about Rachelle is that instead of giving you songs to practice or telling you exactly what kind of songs you need to be doing, she allows you to bring in any music that you like and allows you to pick the focus of your lessons (whether you want to work more on breath support or volume or tone quality etc.). She maintains a flexible, laid-back and supportive attitude and has been a wonderful help for me.

I took lessons with Rachelle for about 2 years and I'm so glad I did. I have improved so much vocally as well as performance-wise. It was a lot of fun to be able to work on my own favorite songs instead of purely classical. I would definitely recommend taking lessons with Rachelle!

I want you to improve. I want you to put time and be great at what you do. I truly love all my students and I want your happiness. As of teaching goes, I'll make sure to meet all your needs but it's you who can make a difference. I don't believe in talent , I believe in hard work and practice. everybody is born with the same blank canvas it's what you draw on it over time that matters.If you let me know that you have other things than music or you're maybe busy to practice a lot, I'll give less things to practice after every 3 month ( what I call a semester) you can choose songs to record in my home studio. I don't have a fancy studio but I have enough equipment to record and edit demo songs. I'd love my students to participant in talent shows and I'm always looking to put you out there in the real world of music.

About Andrew R.

Of all my instruments, I enjoy the act of and teaching singing the most.
It brings tremendous joy to you and your audience and is fun to learn at whatever level. I like to demystify singing as some people seem to have spent a lot of time over-complicating it. That's not to say there isn't important technique to learn and practice but only when it's coupled with real vocal freedom that all the great singers have used to their advantage.
I want my students to 'underthink' breath control so they can Let their bodies go on autopilot so they can focus on the performance instead of the technique alone, whatever their level.
I have been told I have tremendous energy as a singer and I'd like to be able to share with you how I achieve that so that you can do the same!

icks that allowed me to impress the Hollywood composer that first invited me to Los Angeles to work on my first blockbuster. That opportunity led to many years of success in the industry and some notoriety.
I have always had a passion for teaching, sharing my knowledge with others and watching other people take immense pleasure in their own achievements. I have been told time and time again that I have a very special gift for teaching and I would very much like to share it with you, whether you want to learn an instrument, musicianship, ear training, composition, hone your vocal or mic skills or learn how to arrange an orchestral piece in just a few hours!
I look forward to talking to you about your specific needs and goals and having the opportunity to help you realize them in a fun friendly and authentic atmosphere.

About Jameson T.
Close
I am an experienced musician and performer with a variety of teaching skills gained over 20 years of study and action. Lessons in my studio are about so much more than just learning to sing a song or write music. Students are instilled with business knowledge, work ethic, and confidence so that they can truly accomplish whatever they set their minds to. We go deep and focus on how to develop new mental and physical habits that can help the student better express his/herself. We work hard on a curriculum that is specifically catered to the student's needs, and of course, is fun too!
I've worked with students from ages 6-65, with varying backgrounds and interests. From complete beginners to professional performing artists. All students are guaranteed to see improvement in their technical skills within the first month of lessons. Let's do this!

Thanks to Jameson, my voice has been freed. I sing strongly, with control, and with passion any chance I get. The confidence Jameson has giving me in my singing voice is quite honestly, priceless.

Other than the concerts that Jameson sets up himself, he also gave me an opportunity to try out for The Voice. This experience was one of a kind! It was a several day experience where me and a select few other people came to the Tabor Studio and worked on our songs together with multiple coaches to critique our voices so that we would improve for the following day when we actually got to professionally record the songs that we practiced to send to the voice! In addition to this, Jameson helped me place top 10 in the final for Portland Teen Idol, which hosted a few hundred singers. All in all, I regret nothing about my relationship with Jameson. If someone was looking for a vocal coach, Jameson Tabor would be the first person that I would point to."

About Taj J.
Close
Classical vocal technique with a contemporary application. A solid classical vocal foundation crosses over into any style of music you wish to sing. I am a classically trained opera singer (UCLA: BA Vocal Performance, Graduate Studies: École Normale de Musique de Paris) who performs in both classical (opera and choral) and non-classical musical settings (musical theater, jazz, and pop).
About Taj
Hello! My name is Taj, and I am a classically trained singer and voice teacher based in Los Angeles. I received my BA in Vocal Performance from UCLA in 2014 while studying under internationally renowned opera star, Vladimir Chernov. I continued my graduate studies at École Normale de Musique de Paris under Maestro Chernov's wife and personal voice teacher, Olga Toporkova.
I believe in establishing a solid technical foundation based in classical singing technique. The technique I teach comes from the Russian school of Bel Canto (beautiful singing in Italian). By gaining control of your voice through breath control and precise vocal placement, anything is possible! A solid technical foundation will assure the longevity of your voice and its application crosses over into any genre of music you sing.

By gaining control of your voice through breath control and precise vocal placement, anything is possible! A solid technical foundation will assure the longevity of your voice and its application crosses over into any genre of music you sing.
As a singer, I have performed in a
wide variety of contexts ranging from opera, choral, musical theater, jazz, and R&B/pop. I have over 15 years of experience performing, and over 5 years of experience teaching voice. My diverse array of artistic experiences allows me to be flexible and sensitive to the specific needs of my students.
Singing is ultimately a form of artistic expression and release. The end goal of all the technical training is to create an artistic moment for both you and the audience. When you begin the journey of discovering your own unique voice, you will also begin a deeper journey with yourself. Singing has brought me so much joy in my own life and I look forward to sharing that joy with you!

About Marissa H.
Close
I have taken years of singing lessons where I have learned not only to find my voice, but learn how to sing correctly using stomach muscles and diaphragm. I love to show kids how to find music they love and help them find genres they love to sing. At the same time, I love teaching the technique that creates a strong singer great! This is the same technique that I have been practicing for 7 plus years.
About Marissa
I have been a student at USC for three years where I have been studying music. I love to sing and perform around campus, and play piano on my own time. I teach voice and piano camps in San Diego over the summer. Last years camp was 20 kids ranging from 4 - 12 years. I was able to help each and everyone learn something new while spending the last day performing for their parents. I have always loved to play and teach music, following in my mother's footsteps who owners her own music school in San Diego.

Review by Han
"I LOVE HER! SHE IS TOTALLY A MIRACLE WORKER! I have had vocal coaches in Korea and in the US and SHE IS THE BEST! Plus I love her videos! She is a fantast
ic teacher and and after 30 years of singing it is with her that I felt I actually learned something and not being told what to do because the teacher said so. My grandkids adore her! Sometimes when I bring them she will allow them to participate with me! Don't look for another teacher, she is the one!"

Fawn has helped me grow my voice and musicianship. I thought I was tone deaf but she had a special technique she had created which got m
e on pitch almost right away. She also had the patience and confidence to help me turn that off pitch thing around and become a successful *on pitch* vocalist. If you want to sing better, don't have confidence in yourself or want to reach your goals, then you will want to work with this incredible teacher!"

"I had a great first lesson with Tania. We did a lot of vocalization technique, which is great, although I would have liked to have a bit more time for pra
