Professional Pianist, Singer, and Composer with 20 years of experience and a Master's

When I found Joel, I had no technique, no previous training, and no confidence. But somehow, Joel worked with me patiently—imparting correct technique, teaching me the basics, and strengthening my voice. As a performing artist in addition to being a teacher, he also challenged me to perform in front of people and invited me to his live shows so I could learn from him. We eventually added piano lessons, and again, he was a patient and knowledgeable instructor. Our lessons were well-rounded, with explanations of music theory, composition and arrangement, and even hardware and software discussions.

One day, a moment I never dared to dream of happened: I sat at a piano at a party and played and sang my heart out. To my absolute shock, when I turned around, it was to a standing ovation and compliments. Now that is the standard I aim for at karaoke (and sometimes hit) — a long way from where I started.

It’s hard work, but I give all the credit to Joel—the one person who believed I could sing. Hire him and start living your dreams. He will be by your side every step of the way.
