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!

Singing lessons highlights
In my personalized teaching approach, I focus on building confidence through patient, expressive, and breathing focused lessons. Specializing in Pop, Rock, Classical, and Folk singing, I tailor lessons to the individual's taste musically, but also encourage students to branch out and explore the possibilities with their voice. I utilize a variety of tools and techniques, trying to create an interactive online learning experience. By following a structured curriculum, I cater to a diverse student audience, offering singing lessons for beginners, intermediate levels, and advanced singers, ranging from teens to adults. My methodology strengths lie in fostering a supportive environment where students can explore and develop their vocal skills with ease and precision.
