    About Juan F.

    (10)
    I’m a singer, guitarist and voice teacher with +16 years of experience. I specialize in a voice method that is called "Functional Voice Method" This is a pedagogy that can help you achieve a solid healthy voice technique. Unveiling and uncovering your real voice. This work comprehends a deep understanding of breathing or breath support, and its relationships with posture and movement. For that reason the vocal exercises are often matched with certain movements and guidelines. Each lesson will include a warm-up, vocal exercises and work with repertoire. I can always suggest rep that I may consider useful but I prefer to help you work the music you want to sing. From classical to jazz, rock, pop, MT. You can check my website for more info and of course you can contact me if you have questions.

    Juan is an excellent voice teacher who cares about your voice and helps you to improve the quality of your voice. He tailored each lesson based on your needs and struggles. I’ve had two lessons with him so far, and I’ve learned so much about breathing, postures, and movements. Highly recommend him.

    I have been a student of Juan Manuel for five years. He is an excellent teacher, I took face-to-face and currently virtual classes. He provides a space where to learn, always listening to the needs that each one goes through in different stages. Supported by the rabine method, it guides you towards a better performance when singing, with clear guidelines that allow you to organize and optimize your voice.
