Hector - Get to know your vocal coach
I have been teaching private voice lessons for over six years and am passionate about helping students of all ages and experience levels grow as singers and musicians. My teaching philosophy centers on creating a supportive, encouraging, and individualized learning environment where students feel comfortable taking risks, building confidence, and developing their unique artistic voice. As a classically trained tenor and voice educator, I combine proven vocal techniques with practical performance skills to help students build healthy singing habits, improve musicianship, and achieve their personal goals. I believe that every student learns differently, so I tailor each lesson to their specific needs, interests, and learning style. Whether a student is preparing for auditions, performances, competitions, or simply singing for personal enjoyment, I strive to make lessons both engaging and rewarding. My goal is not only to help students become stronger singers, but also to foster a lifelong appreciation for music, creativity, and self-expression. Through patience, clear instruction, and positive reinforcement, I work to inspire confidence and help each student reach their full potential.

Singing concepts taught by Hector
The Student and Tutor focused on vocal warm-ups, detailed breathing techniques for diaphragmatic support, and exercises to develop mixed voice. They applied these concepts by working through sections of the song "The Climb," specifically addressing chest voice connection, mixed voice engagement, and vowel shaping on higher notes. The Student was asked to choose a song for the next session.

The Student and Tutor engaged in vocal warm-ups and technique exercises, focusing on exploring head and chest voice registers, improving breath support, and understanding vocal acoustics for belting. The Student then applied these techniques while singing "Malibu," specifically working on accessing and transitioning into their chest voice. For follow-up, the Student will choose a song for the next lesson, and the Tutor will also suggest a song to aid vocal development.
