Harlan, IN Singing Lessons

there after that. I also started teaching at another well respected music school and remained there until the end of 2010. During this time I was very fortunate to have a large database of students who were with me from the beginning of my teaching career up until I left both schools. The only reason I left was as I am also a performer; I was offered an opportunity to perform overseas and i took it. It was a very exciting part of my life as a performer and has helped me grow as an artist and teacher immensely.

In 2012, I relocated to Miami and have been teaching from my private home studio while I continue working on my music career. As a musician and educator, I am very passionate about my teaching and like to bring the best out in my students. Every lesson is tailored specifically to your individual learning needs. I will teach you a vocal technique based on the Seth Riggs Teaching method with my own methods implemented, performance skills, repertoire selection, and audition preparation amongst other skills. It doesn't matter what your desired goal is, I can help you achieve it. The most important part of it all is that you have fun!!

And for piano I like to teach through a series of books depending on your learning levels. We can start at book one, with scales from the book A Dozen a Day, or we can take the the more traditional route of scales, or learn popular songs. This decision can be made by you and I when we meet at our first lesson and discuss what your goals are as a musician.

*** Lesson Details ***
Every lesson is tailored to your individual learning levels. I normally asses this in the first lesson. Lets start with the Singers.

Most singers are looking for help with contemporary popular music so using specific texts are void here. I will teach you a method of singing technique based on the Seth Riggs singing method, implemented with a technique called "Emotion Centered Singing" which will help you understand music beyond melody and composition but also through text and individual interpretation through story telling customed to your needs. I also teach Musical Theatre Singing, pop, rock, jazz, so if these are routes you would like to take, I can help you on your way there. I will help you choose repertoire for auditions, performances, we will work on performance and audition technique and many more fun things!!!

For the Pianists. This also depends on what you want to get out of your lessons. Do you want to learn pop songs? arrangements? Or do you want to learn classical pieces? I ask you all these questions and more at our first lesson to make sure you and I are both happy with the direction we will take. I use either Scale Books or The Dozen a Day Series or the ABRSM Piano series, Alfred's Adult Piano book and many more. Once again the important factor here is Fun based learning!

I can provide some books for learning and make copies accordingly. The student should have a working piano/keyboard in the home. If i request they purchase a book for their learning development, they are required to purchase it.

*** Specialties ***
For Singing- I teach a method called Speech Level Singing. Similar to the Seth Riggs Speech level singing as well as a technique called Emotion centered singing which deals with connecting with the song and feeling the connection through the core. This is useful for performance and interpretation. I specialize in teaching, Pop, RnB, Musical Theatre, Rock and Folk

For Piano, I use a variety a books. I particularly like the Alfred's series as well as the Bastien Series. I also like to encourage other learning materials for holidays which is lots of fun!! This depends on the students learning level. I asses learning levels in the first lesson and plan lessons accordingly after that in order to have the student progress each week. I teach classical piano and contemporary, pop

f learning, musicianship and artistry. I have most recently taught in Jerry City, Ohio for Elmwood Jr./Sr. High School, and have also been active for the past six years as a master class instructor for St. Peter's Lutheran Church, located in Ft. Wayne, IN. I am very happy to be working with you!

He prides himself in always taking the time to learn about his students, and he has taken many seminar courses about the voice and how it progresses and is always in the process of learning new teaching techniqes!

He's open to other styles of singing, however his focus is classical training. He believes that with a good classical base you can explore many different types of singing, such as Jazz, and Musical Theater to name just a few. He's very excited to be doing this and he can't wait to help you learn about your voice!

*** Lesson Details ***
Every lesson will be different because each student is different! I urge you to come explore your voice with me and learn what works best for you! I prefer to give hour voice lessons, because that gives me more time to work with you, however I will be just as happy to work in 30, or 45 minute slots as well!

*** Specialties ***
Classical! If you haven't seen it so far in my writing, I love opera. It's one of my favorite, all-encompassing, art forms and I am in a constant state of wonder when I watch it and perform it. My main specialty is just that classical base that every singer needs!

the intermediate levels the most. I enjoy watching people discover things for the first time, and in my teaching I really do my best to craft my lessons to the needs of the students. My primary aim in teaching is that I would cultivate in my students a love for music and learning. With these two things in place, a student can go on to be and learn anything.

Join me and my studio. We'll have a great time, and we'll get you to your goals while we're enjoying the journey of music together!!

) the Classical approach to Western tonal harmony and asks that the students develop certain fundamentals of technique and theory. In my experience, this structure creates the strongest foundation for pupils to build the rest of their musical lives on, whether professionally or solely for personal enjoyment. All of my students are on the fast track to studying music theory. Whatever level they are at when I start with them, I guide their efforts into bringing the students up to a certain level of comprehension regarding the mathematical aspects of music and how it relates to their instruments. This understanding of theoretical principles of sound allows the students to play any style of music they wish, no matter how their tastes may change throughout their lives.

You will learn more about my history later (an NDA agreement must be signed ).

I recently moved from Dumbo, New York (Shout out to Hov for putting us on the map ) to Buford, GA

to raise my family. After spending 18 months working out of the Universal Music building

and completing a project, I decided to move to Georgia to be closer to my family and be a stay at home father.

I have an amazing son named Jeylen who is 5 years old.

I have been active in the music business as a ghostwriter and consultant for about 6 years now.

I have worked with some incredible Grammy Award Artist and Producers.

I have been media trained under the careful watch of Yvette Noel Schure, of Schure Media (Beyoncé’s Publicist), Quincy Jackson (Former VP of Marketing/ Columbia), Nate Johnson (LMFAO Management),

Jimmy Vellutato (VP of Sony/ATV), and the list goes on.

I wanted to start an Artist Development firm that specializes in the Business of Music.

I want to be a positive light to new and upcoming artists. This business can be overwhelming and a lot of artists

don't really understand, become misguided, and are unsuccessful because of their lack of knowledge.

I would like to do my part and help bring some solid steps to achieving something greater than where you

presently stand. I have been in your shoes MANY, MANY, MANY times. I've searched for a way into the business

and it cost me way more than money, and through my experiences and lessons learned I would love to empower you.

Last year my team and I were able to secure a Record & Publishing deal based on this PROVEN 12-Step Curriculum and the Artist’s DEBUT LP is due to be released Spring 2018 thru Sony.

I have the relationships needed to get you to the next level.

I'm not here to sell dreams or give empty promises I am here to empower you to be NEXT!

To keep it 100 with you if you don't have what it takes we both will know at the initial consultation.

I'm not a believer in time wasted.

Integrity is my honor.

Become the better Version of you today and let's get to work.

I promise you, you will soar if you put the time in and follow the 12-week course.

Blessings,

JL
