In addition, I have my post-baccalaureate degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders from Pacific University, and have a great amount of insight into the physiology of the human voice and the science of sound. After many years of studying vocal physiology and using this information in my own singing, as well as that of my students, I have come to believe strongly in the value of learning everything you can about the way your voice works. Although we all have a unique vocal tone, we also have a lot of control over the sounds we make through placement, support, air flow, vowel choice, mouth shape and dynamics. When people ask me if their voice is good enough to sing, I always say a resounding YES! I think singing is for everybody, and I love the process of helping my students find their authentic sound.

Matthew manages to balance professional/fun/inspiring/rigorous in a way that many music teachers…read moredon't quite get. My son started voice lessons at VOX via Zoom during 2020, transitioning to in-person for several weeks before heading off to college. He loved all of it and those Monday night lessons were a lifeline for him as his other choirs and school music classes were postponed due to COVID. His confidence grew, and he was accepted into his college's competitive top choir as a freshman (Matthew also helped him with his college admissions' supplementary vocal performance materials and he landed a vocal scholarship). The recitals are great milestones and provide a real sense of community despite the age and experience differences. I'd recommend him to any one at any level.

We love Backbeat Music Academy! My daughter has been taking piano lessons there for over a year…read morenow, and we have had such a positive experience. She has worked with several instructors over time, including Bex, Ari, and Luciana, and every single one has been amazing. Right now she is taking lessons with Sam, and we highly recommend him! He is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and always brings such a great vibe to the lessons. We can clearly see my daughter's progress, and it is obvious that he genuinely cares and gets so excited seeing how much she has improved (whenever she learns something new or finally masters a piece they have been working on, you can see the joy on his face). If you are lucky, you may be able to get a spot with him! NOte: He occasionally goes on tour with his band (which I think is awesome), but even when substitute instructors step in, the experience has always been great.

He's incredibly smart, kind, and funny, and just knows so much about drumming and music as a whole. There is no other drum teacher in the world like him, and I'll be sad to stop getting lessons after I leave for college this fall. Thank you for everything, John!

I started with Daniel just over a year ago, and he has helped me access parts of my voice I didn't…read moreknow existed. A few months ago, I literally felt a back room in my voice I had never accessed before. Without fail, either through lack of sleep, dehydration, the weather, yelling, or earlier bad habits, my voice has always found a way to be thrown off-balance. But those worries are now in the past. I've found a rehabilitation center, in the 45-minute weekly lesson, where my voice enters the hands of a vocal surgeon. I enter with a voice tensed up and short on range, and leave with an instrument I can be proud of. On top of all that, It doesn't hurt that Daniel's an all-around great guy, making lessons not only instructive, but enjoyable. 5 Stars. Highly Recommend.

I've been doing Skype lessons all summer with Daniel and have to say that my voice has made a huge…read moreimprovement. I sing with a lot more confidence and have genuinely enjoyed doing my daily exercises, which he sends me in an audio file after each lesson. He's a very good teacher: patient, efficient and has specific, substantive skills to offer. Rather than trying to teach me a specific style, he's helping me get my voice muscles trained up so that I'm more capable of singing in the style that I'm interested in. It's sort of like Physical Therapy for your voice. I've had a lot of music teachers over the years, and I really think Daniel has a strong gift for teaching!

I was one of those kids growing up who was told "don't sing." Pretty damaging to a kid's sense of…read morevoice. About two years ago, I started working with Becca. It's safe to say that I have "retired" that negative sense of my voice. Instead, Becca has taught me to remain open and curious about my instrument. My range, access, quality of timber--all have grown remarkably. My awareness of breath control and the smallest internal modulations and shaping of my internal space have all resulted in a profound improvement in the resonance, roundness and richness of my voice. Somehow, in a mostly passive manner, she has even taught me to read music (still in the early days but it's pretty empowering) as part of my vocal training. In short, even adults who are certain they can't sing are wrong. Working with Becca is proof of that. I am very pleased with the progress and growth I've made under her tutelage. You will be too!
