Josh - Get to know your vocal coach
Hi, I’m Josh Wing. I graduated from Cal State Fullerton in 2021 with a Bachelors of Music, in Vocal Performance. I am here to help you learn fundamental skills for singing and performing, as well as helping you achieve your personal goals. I have experience in many genres of music including: classical, opera, jazz, pop, R&B, musical theatre, gospel, and more. I have also worked with music in many different languages such as: Spanish, Italian, German, and French and can provide insight on diction in these languages. I can work with students of all ages and backgrounds, I want to provide a safe space for anyone who is willing to learn and grow as a performer. I have resources to provide you to help you with pitch matching, breath support, music theory, diction, and history. Join me in fun, personalized, and effective lessons so that we can share the gift of music with others!

Singing lessons highlights
My focus is to provide patient, individualized, engaging lessons to help my students grow in their confidence and their abilities in the ways they seeking. Whether you have taken voice lessons all your life, or you have never sang in front of another person, I would like to help you get closer to your goals and development as a singer and performer. I have a vast understanding of many different genres of music in multiple different languages. I think learning about vocal technique is essential to understanding how to become a better performer. My curriculum includes getting to know my student and working together to set goals. I then will assess where the student is in their vocal experience and provide some insight on how we can collaborate to make improvements. I want to create a judgement free environment that allows for both growth and fun to take place.
