About

Welcome to Joe Manuel’s Private Music Lessons. I look forward to serving you in the area of music!

With a bachelor's degree in Music Education from Vanguard University, I've been teaching Singing, Violin, Piano, and Guitar in classroom and one-on-one settings since 2002. Currently I am the Musical Theater Teacher for the city of Norwalk, and the Music Director for Arts Aloud Theater Group. Other places where I have taught are: Kids Space Whittier, Oakwood Academy Long Beach, Calvary Chapel Downey School, Dexter Music, and ABC Unified School District. I've been complimented on my ability to teach in a way that makes my students learn very quickly. I was trained in the classical/theater and pop/rock genres. I've toured with choirs throughout China, and the United States (including Carnegie Hall), and I have also toured with rock/pop bands in Spain, Mexico, Central America, Peru, and throughout the U.S.A.

I've worked with various vocal coaches including Grammy-nominated Ilene Graff, and Maxayn Lewis who has worked with many celebrities.

I am also currently the lead singer (also playing guitar & piano) for the band Hello Human (hellohuman.hearnow.com). I've worked with amazing musicians including Michael Thompson (guitarist for Michael Jackson, Christina Aguilera), and John Robinson (drummer for Quincy Jones, Elton John). I've also had the honor of working with Wyn Davis (producer of No Doubt, Sublime).

My vocal recordings/original songs are on television show The Young & The Restless (“Dreamers” June 11th episode 11449, “High Tops” June 6th episode 11447). My vocal recordings/original songs are currently on KWAVE 107.9 and have been on Alcoa Tennessee's Love 89.1, Refuge, CSN, WCTL, and on hundreds of other radio stations.

    Joe has worked with my daughter for sometime and she is now playing 2 instruments (piano and guitar). He has taught my daughter the fundamental concepts of music theory which is very vital. This allows the students to learn the musical grammar to be able to communicate musical ideas effectively.
    Joe is positive, patient and encouraging, but Joe will call you out when you don’t practice, which in my book is great because my daughter knows she needs to be ready when meeting with Joe. He is also flexible to work around our schedules when possible. He is truly amazing music instructor. This picture shows one of her very first practices.

    Joe is an exceptional vocal teacher. I have been his regular student for about 2 years. He taught me how to use my voice more securely, without harming my vocal cords, and we really expanded my vocal range. If I could leave 10 reviews, I would definitely do that. To anyone reading this review: dont think twice. This is the person youre looking for. Joe is polite, passionate about music, and a skillful teacher and musician. Thank you, Joe.

    We are beyond grateful for Joe, Julias voice teacher. In just 6 months of musical theater singing lessons, Joes professionalism, kindness, and undeniable talent have truly been a blessing. Julias technique has improved dramatically under his guidance, and we appreciate the specific areas where he has helped her grow. Despite trying other voice teachers, none compare to Joes expertise and dedication. Thank you, Joe, for your invaluable impact on Julias musical journey.
