Introduction
***BASED IN NYC. Teach in person and online*** NOT a classical singing teacher, I am the author of “How To Sing Without Thinking.” I teach contemporary singing and I specialize in helping singers find and hone their unique voice. I am not about gimmicks, big tricks or false promises. I guide you into singing with minimal strain, developing vocal power, expanding your range and drastically improving your singing as a whole. I think of the voice like the body; the more precisely you exercise (vocalize), the stronger (more powerful), more flexible (more range) and more fit (better tone) you get. One of the best perks is that once you get vocally fit, you will be a lot more confident and less self-conscious about your singing. It’s exactly like when you are physically fit, you just feel much better about the way you look. When you are vocally fit, you just feel much better about the way you sound. I specialize in pop, rock, R&B, gospel, jazz, musical theater, country, metal and all singing styles that use a microphone. I work with adults and teenagers over 14 with a good attention span and who are highly motivated. Let’s get you vocally fit and comfortable so you can sing with pride!

I started taking voice lessons with Gabriel at the end of 2022. I had always been passionate about music and songwriting from a young age…. but always struggled to find my voice. Throughout my time taking voice lessons with Gabriel, not only was I able to open up more and find confidence in my voice, but I learned how to manipulate my vocals in ways I had never thought was possible before. He is patient, knowledgeable, and consistent. He definitely helped bring me out of my shell, and reach new heights that even blew me away as a singer/ songwriter. I learned how to sing in both lower and high registers, and channel my emotions into emotive singing. Best teacher evaaa!

This was my first lesson with Gabriel. I was nervous due to several factors like my insecurities with my voice, never having taken a lesson before, and me simply second guessing myself but Gabriel from the first few minutes of the lesson put me at ease. He made me feel extremely comfortable, not only listened but made me feel heard. I knew after the lesson that I want to continue working with him as my vocal coach. Not only did he make me feel comfortable but he made me feel confident in my abilities as an artist. He gave me perspective in things I was doing that I wasn’t aware of and how to be present and to relax (to stay grounded, were his words) He also was so supportive and made me realize how great I am and to celebrate how far I’ve come! He not only listened but understood me on such a level that he was able to make me not second guess my choices when it came to my singing. I can’t wait to work with him again in the future. If anyone is looking for a vocal coach who will make you feel comfortable, help you understand yourself as a person, guide you and your voice every step of the way, give you constructive criticism and be receptive, then Gabriel is your guy. You’re going to learn a lot about yourself and your abilities. Can’t wait to see how I progress with Gabriel and I look forward to the next lesson!

From the moment I began working with Gabriel, it became evident that he was not just a vocal coach but a master craftsman of contemporary singing. His teaching style, deeply rooted in understanding and refining one's unique voice, has been a revelation. Gabriel is far from your typical singing teacher; he’s a vocal architect who constructs a foundation for lasting vocal prowess. Gabriel's approach to vocal training is akin to a meticulously designed exercise regimen, tailored specifically for the voice. He likens vocal training to physical fitness – the more precise and focused your exercises, the more powerful, flexible, and fit your voice becomes. This philosophy has transformed my singing. Under Gabriel's guidance, I've learned to sing with minimal strain while developing vocal power, expanding my range, and drastically improving my overall vocal technique. The results of his teachings are not just felt but have been widely recognized. My improved vocal technique has been featured in publications like The Source, where critics have praised the newfound freedom and expressiveness in my singing. This recognition is a testament to Gabriel's skill in enhancing and refining a singer's natural talent. One of the most remarkable aspects of Gabriel’s teaching is his extensive knowledge of vocal exercises. He is a veritable encyclopedia in this domain, offering a diverse array of techniques that have unlocked new dimensions in my voice. His lessons are more than just training sessions; they are an adventurous exploration into the vast potential of my vocal abilities. Moreover, Gabriel has instilled in me a sense of seriousness towards singing as a lifelong craft. His lessons are infused with a sense of comfort and enjoyment, making each session something I eagerly anticipate. He pushes his students towards excellence, yet ensures that the journey is as rewarding as the destination. Despite my move to the Bay Area, my lessons with Gabriel haven’t skipped a beat. His flexibility and adaptability have allowed me to continue my vocal journey seamlessly, illustrating his commitment to his students' progress, irrespective of geographical constraints. For anyone looking to elevate their contemporary singing technique – be it in pop, rock, R&B, gospel, jazz, musical theater, country, or metal – Gabriel is the go-to coach. He works magic with adults and teenagers alike, as long as they bring a good attention span and high motivation to the table. In conclusion, if you're seeking to get "vocally fit" and sing with pride and confidence, look no further than Gabriel. His teaching transcends traditional vocal training, offering a transformative experience that resonates not just in your voice, but in your very being. I wholeheartedly recommend Gabriel to anyone serious about mastering contemporary singing.

Gabriel was great. I'm a complete beginner and he was very patient with me, taking me through vocal exercises, explaining how different sounds are made and why we hit certain road-blocks (and how to get around them). From the first lesson I felt I was gaining so much. He's friendly and easy to work with - highly recommend!

Fear of singing out loud but want to be able to sing without feeling self-conscious or embarrassed? Or see singing as a form of therapy you want to tap into but don’t know where to start? Me too. I took a trip to NYC for a week looking for an outlet to dust the cobwebs off my voice; having done a lot of different kinds of mind and body healing, it felt like a missing therapeutic element to me to begin singing to express myself authentically. In times of prolonged stress and mental chatter it’s not easy to find that clear, steady, confident singing voice when it’s so out of practice and may feel out of reach. Gabriel can help to excavate your voice no matter how buried or fledgling it may feel. You can start very simply just by making sounds, and build from there. I can’t recommend Gabriel highly enough!
