After finishing college and meeting so many artists seeking help I founded The Gene Townsel Studio of Theatrical and Musical Arts where such artists as "Scat Man" Crothers and Marques Houston of "Immature" now "IMX" were regular clients. As a vocal coach/teacher to professional and aspiring artists for over 40 years, I have used my experience as an Internationally Acclaimed Singer and his formal training (Florida AM University) as a vocal music major, to help my students develop the tools necessary to be competitive in the industry.

Since teaching was easy for me I've shared with students all along as I myself worked on my skills. I've had the joy of studying under great masters and I've modeled my teaching style around them. I'm eclectic when it comes to musical styles for I myself had too many loves. I'm trained in classical and jazz disciplines but have performed/recorded and produced others styles such as rock, pop and latin. Read More

I design my lessons differently for every student. I understand that every human being is different and it is my duty as an educator to adjust my methods to the student's needs. However, I can say that my methods focus on learning music through performance. I teach students how to read rhythms, melodies, how to understand theory, how to write music, all with his/her instrument in hand. This is a method that helps the student to develop more musicality and to become a integral musician, that not only plays an instrument, but also understand music as an entity. Read More

I began teaching after graduating high school in 1999. I have had many levels and ages of students. I find that each student is on their own path of learning and private study is the best method of determining how to keep the students passion and motivation engaged at a successful level. I enjoy working with young children learning to read music to adults who want to hone thier craft of 'jamming in a band'. Read More

I break down the overall goal to a small step that is doable for the student. I am nice and patient with students, meanwhile, I insist on they accomplishing my instruction.

Practicing also teaches us how to be patient and doing it efficiently leading to success. Read More
