Daniel - Get to know your vocal coach
As a seasoned online tutor with over 7 years of experience in singing lessons, I am Daniel Walker, a Bachelors-educated expert in vocal training. My specialized areas include Folk, Jazz, Pop, Blues, Classical, and Rock Singing. I excel in personalized learning, covering Ear Training, Harmony, Improvisation, Music Theory, and more. As a singer who was being trained by professionals and still felt like I was floundering trying to figure things out, I believe I have a niche of teaching some very complicated ideals into layman’s terms. It’s all about making the body and voice work for you and not against you. Whether you're a beginner or an advanced singer, I tailor lessons to enhance your skills. Do you want to know how to hit those high notes? What about singing live versus singing for the studio? Let's hit the right notes together and unlock your true singing potential!

Singing lessons highlights
My teaching approach focuses on motivating students, building their confidence, and enhancing their musicality through personalized lessons. I specialize in Jazz, Movie, Classical, Pop, Rock, Folk, and Blues Singing. I use a variety of tech tools for interactive online learning, including Google Apps, Zoom, and Microsoft Teams. I follow a structured curriculum tailored to each student's level, whether they are beginners or advanced singers. My audience includes students aged 10 and above, seeking singing lessons at different proficiency levels. My patient and breathing-focused methods ensure a supportive environment for students to thrive in their vocal journey. What do you want to accomplish? Are high notes even important to you? Does your desired style of singing require you to belt or do riffs and runs? I want you to be able to do what you want to do safely and with longevity.
