He is passionate and really takes the time to make sure all of your questions are answered. I would highly recommend him for your music needs. Jimmy is well versed in music and has been extremely helpful in my lyric writing process. What a lovely dude, he was patient through various technical difficulties and addressed all my questions thoroughly, I can't reccomend him highly enough!!! Ryder, 1 lesson with Jimmy Educated and helpful Great tutor so far l, looking forward to my growth ! Takes the time to understand your individual needs. Just like how a baby learns to talk by listening to adults talk and emulate them, I will teach you how to develop your own musical language. In MUSIC PRODUCTION, I require students to listen to other tracks and transcribe and remake the tracks. I also ask them to listen to their favorite singers and listen to the different nuance inflections they do whether that is a growl, a crescendo, or a riff and replicate those inflections. They walk away with the ability to balance their head and chest voice. In VOICE LESSONS, I encourage students to observe their voice under different stimuli. Not only will they know the terminologies, they will be able to identify chords by ear when I play them on the piano. In MUSIC THEORY, students will play the lesson materials on an instrument to internalize the feeling and sensation of harmony. My students all walk away with the ability to hear music in their minds. Even though Beethoven went deaf, because he had such a strong foundation of sounds and notes, he can hear the music in his head. In all my classrooms, I emphasize ear training. It is a PRACTICE! Students who study with me will leave with a thick portfolio full of work and recordings they can use for any sort of applications. Therefore, my teaching method is centered around building your musical vocabulary so you can express the sound from the bottom of your heart. Whether you want to sing or write songs, you have to DO THE WORK! Music is a language, and its vocabulary is developed through your own practice. What I teach my students in music is the work ethic and attitude needed to succeed as a musician. I worked as a voice teacher in a music school in Singapore, a concert producer for the Stop Asian Hate movement, a record producer for Japanese artists, a headlining performer, a background singer and so much more. With a Bachelor's Degree from Berklee College of Music, I have been in many positions in the music industry. He challenged me and helped me grow into an artist. I highly recommend jimmy for anybody who wants to begin studying music seriously. He also offered career advise and showed me different paths. He was also very helpful in developing my singing, Songwriting and music theory to a college level. He also tries to understand what I’m really passionate about and what my strengths are so I could find colleges that can possibly give me scholarship. He started with a series of consultation recommending me different colleges that have programs which fit me. I am able to connect technique with artistic expression which is such an amazing feeling.He has been been extremely helpful with my college application process. But I never understood those terms until jimmy explained why those methods don’t work at least for me. He never mentioned anything about breath support or placement which my previous teachers emphasize a lot on. As a voice teacher, his method actually made sense and helped improve my singing within 2 weeks. He gave me advice on music business like how to write a contract, how to split and get writer’s credit, and how to negotiate for my advantage. Studying with him, you not only learn important and useful knowledge, but also the music industry and trends. He can teach singing, piano, songwriting and music production.
