Ruslana C. says, "I'm an adult who signed up for singing lessons in search of a new hobby and to work through anxiety so that I can start singing at social events. I am 29 y/o and have never tried singing in the past (not even at birthday parties - too nervous to sing!).
I found Gabriel through this site and have been taking lessons for about 5 months now. I have already noticed a HUGE difference in my ability to hit the right notes and in my confidence level when singing! I even started singing around family members, which I never would have imagined doing prior to starting lessons with Gabriel.
What stands out to me about our lessons:
- his level of expertise in bel canto
- his ability to explain correct singing techniques in very clear, simple, understandable terms
- his ability to make me feel comfortable, I have 0 anxiety when working with him
- his patience (we go over parts of songs repeatedly until I get them right, he makes sure we don't move on until I use the proper technique!)
- how he tailors lessons to fit his students' preferences. Example: I mentioned I'm interested in learning other genres in addition to bel canto. At any given time, he has me learn two songs - one bel canto song that he chooses based on my voice/skill level and one other song that I choose that isn't necessarily bel canto.
- his flexible scheduling. I work full time with an unpredictable schedule. Gabriel is very open to working with my schedule.
- he holds optional biannual recitals for all of his students, which are great opportunities to practice performing in front of people.
Overall, I plan to continue taking lessons with Gabriel and I highly recommend him as a singing teacher!" Read more
