Testimonials

“I've been singing for a while and have taken classical, jazz, and pop vocal lessons (I sing pop/soul), but have never found a vocal teacher that wanted to develop MY voice to its own unique potential. It's always what they think my voice ought to sound like. I have a somewhat unique vocal tone and that approach has never allowed me to flourish as a singer.

Mikee, at JAM House, listens to my voice, and strives to help me to reach the full potential of my own unique sound. He has such a breadth of knowledge that he is able to tune every single exercise to fit what my voice is doing that day which makes each lesson dynamic and engaging. He emphasizes building good singing habits and overall vocal and mental health. Mikee has so much contagious energy and is incredibly fun to be around. He is like my personal hype man each time I see him and he makes you feel comfortable enough to work through the pain points in your voice.

I live 30 minutes away, and there are dozens of vocal teachers that are closer, but I will continue to make the drive to JAM House, because my voice is growing like I've never seen.”

“Michael truly has a talent for vocal coaching. I've been to other voice teachers in the past, but can easily say I feel like I've learned the most and grown the most while working with Michael.

He does a great job of making you feel comfortable and confident, and really works with your voice and your goals vs. a one-size-fits-all style of teaching / coaching.

I'm so happy I get to work with Michael and have already recommended him to so many people I know. I would highly, highly recommend for anyone at any level that is looking for a vocal coach!”

Katleiah Ramos Singer/Musician/Software Engineer

“Michael is an amazing vocal coach in so many ways.

I have always loved singing privately, but I'm really shy so I never sing in front of others. I wanted a way to practice singing in front of someone and get comfortable and confident with using my voice. I had never taken voice lessons before, but right away Michael made me feel at ease and so much less anxious about singing with an audience.

I've been taking singing lessons with Michael for about 6 months, and I continue to go weekly because I now see it as a necessary part of my self-care. I feel much more confident singing in front of others and am even considering performing soon.

I've learned so much from Michael, from music theory to soul and so many vocal techniques. Michael teaches in a way that is so fun and encouraging, and he is so enthusiastic about my growth as a singer and brings that energy to every session we have!

We've only had online lessons so far (which work great!) and even though we've never technically met in person, I've made such a great friend in Michael! I highly recommend Michael & Jam House Music!”

Katrina Ramos Hypnotherapist

“I have been working with Michael of JAM House Music for about 7 months now on a weekly basis, and Michael has been a fantastic teacher and coach as I've navigated my personal singing journey.

Even though I'm a casual singer and don't always have big goals, Michael has been great at helping cater all my lessons based on ideas I have. He's excellent at adjusting the lesson plan as needed if certain exercises aren't working. In addition, we have workshopped songs to be beyond what I initially imagined, including a song in Tagalog, and I have learned much more than I expected.

Michael never makes me feel bad if I am not *getting* something, and he always notices my improvement; he's made sure to make his space inclusive to all levels, which makes him very easy to work with. I highly recommend him to anybody who wants to sing casually or professionally.”

“Michael is an amazing vocal coach and teacher. He also makes sure his students are comfortable yet pushes them out of their comfort zone when it makes sense for the student’s growth and reaching each student’s vocal goals. He really customizes each lesson to the priorities and personal goals expressed by his students and creates tailored vocal exercises to help target certain techniques or muscle groups that enable students to reach their goals whether that be increasing range, breathing/air control, singing in specific genres or tones, etc. Outside of my own lessons, I’ve also observed him teaching other students and it is evident he cares a lot about creating the best experience possible for singers of all levels.”
