Armando - Get to know your vocal coach

Armando Salazar; music instructor for private voice, guitar, piano ukulele, and music theory/composition. With over 4 years of teaching and performing; my course will help you become the talented musician you are striving for! I specialize in honing in music skills that are detrimental to growth, independency and creativity. Music is a skill that anyone can learn and adapt. With my guidance, I can assist in sharpening those skills; focus on specific training that will aid in growth mentality, create independent practice and ensure a path that will lead to success! In voice, I specialize in Art music, theater/movie, rock and folk genre. Majority of these techniques rely heavy on chest voice, head voice, a partial percentage of falsetto technique and a decent mix of chest/head movie. Regardless of age, gender and ethnicity, my lessons apply to all and deliver a satisfactory outcome!

Singing lessons highlights

In my personal teaching approach, I focus on the following: pitch, tone, rhythm, diction, and performance deliverance. Pitch criteria starts with random pitches that will aid in establishing your voice range; how high or low you are capable at reaching. Then with training and time, we will learn to expand our reach on both ends of the spectrum. Tone technique include English and Spanish vowel exercises along with diction that will help establish a specific sound you are determined in producing. Whether it is a warm rich resonating sound or a high soft crisp voice, my diction and tone exercises will assist in locating your desired sound and pronunciation of words and phrases. Rhythm criteria will focus on speed and accuracy. Slow or fast songs, regardless, both require strong tempo focus that a singer must be able to control and adapt. With my assistance, students will learn to stay on path without altering speed. Performance deliverance will explore options in singing with confidence and posture. Whether you are looking to perform for fun or enjoy singing in private, confidence is a major role when it comes to honing in your voice!

Armando conducted a guitar lesson with Jacob, addressing specific guitar issues and focusing on improving chord transitions within songs like 'House of the Rising Sun' and 'Hurt.' During the lesson, they also learned two new riffs: the 'Shuffle Riff,' which is melody-based on strings 4, 5, and 6, and the 'Bad to the Bone' riff, played on strings 3 and 4. Armando placed a strong emphasis on rhythm and accurate finger placement. For practice, Jacob was assigned these riffs and songs, with the instruction tailored to his preference for chords, aiming to enhance his skills and prepare him for soloing.
