Jonathon - Get to know your vocal coach

With over 10 years of professional singing experience, earning my Master's Degree in Vocal Performance at North Park University, Jonathon Joseph Larson is an excellent vocal coach and teacher. From Pop to Classical to Rock, all musical interests are welcome in the vocal studio. In my personalized lessons, we focus on the Bel Canto Technique. Bel Canto (or Beautiful Singing) is the basis for most western singing, whether that be Pop or Opera. All students, from beginner to advanced learners, will focus on the structural basis of Bel Canto, focusing our breath and using this to produce a sound unique to you. Singing is very personal and no two journeys are a like, so the studio is a safe space for expression and experimentation. Lessons will also work to improve your rhythm, sight singing, performance techniques, and confidence. Book your lesson today, and start to explore your voice!
