About Benjamin K.

4.8

(158)

Benjamin is a celebrity vocal coach and has helped singers reach the highest levels in the music business. He has extensively studied the art and mechanics of singing. He has a Master's degree in Vocal Performance from the Chicago College of Performing Arts, and a Biology degree (which enabled him to study the anatomy of the voice). Benjamin is the founder of BAWS Studio, a studio that has mentored and trained artists to have a career in singing. He has worked for several recording studios and loves to help singers write, record, and cultivate their artistic voice. He works with singers of all genre and cares deeply about authenticity, originality, and technique. His students have received billions of streams, sold out world tours, been finalist on The Voice, won pageants, performed on Broadway, receive full-ride scholarships to study music, been in the Top 10 Billboard charts, and received record and publishing deals. *** Lesson Details *** There are 3 stages to developing an artist. Stage 1, we will work to build the voice much like an athlete and personal trainer. We will work on strengthening your posture, develop the correct inhalation/exhalation of air, proper formation of the vocal tract (lips, tongue, jaw, throat), and develop a clear resonant phonation. Stage 2, the student will begin learning how to learn music. We will study rhythm, diction, vowels, style, and musicianship. In this stage the student will have the opportunity to learn a variety of genres and experiment with different types of music. Stage 3, we start to find your artistic footing. We develop a unique and personal style to their sound. We begin to think about what you want to say and how you want the audience to feel when you sing. We will find your "It Factor" that will set you apart from anyone else, and give you the freedom to fully express yourself through music.

Ben is such an excellent teacher! He's incredibly patient and takes the time to make sure you understand the basics. He doesn't rush through things; I've seen a vast improvement after just two sessions. I love his teaching style and can't wait to learn from him. Plus, he's super creative, so if you are ever struggling to get something and start feeling frustrated, he's always got another approach that works like a charm! He never runs out or approaches to try when a student is struggling. Also, he knows his stuff. You will get better working with him regardless of your singing level.
