I was initially very nervous to reach out because I have no formal vocal training so I figured this was going to be a big task. However, I was immediately pleased with how easy to work with Gene was. I walked in and after a brief conversation to get familiar and work out what my goals were, we jumped right in to figuring out where I stand and what work I needed. By the time my half hour appointment was concluded, I already had the confidence to belt out what I had learned the full 40 minute ride home. I will certainly be scheduling more lessons and would encourage anyone to seek out Gene’s expertise to reach their goals. You will *not* be disappointed!

About Octave Higher Voice Studio
Located in Austin, Texas, I teach in person in my Austin studio and remotely on the Internet or by phone. The technique that I use is proven successful. From classical to pop, the technique works. Most successful artists use this technique. I encourage all to research Speech Level Singing and those artists that use it. Also, for those that want the training, I was a high school choral teacher for many years. I have many years of experience teaching music reading as well as ear training. Helping those succeed! Successful singing is dependent on successfully understanding the voice and how it works. Watching those people learn and successfully engage their voice from the very lowest note to the very highest is very rewarding.

Mr. Gene is wonderful and encouraging as well as incredibly knowledgeable!
The first lesson was encouraging. My knowledge of my voice and how to use it is growing. I am singing better with less strain and I sure with more lessons and practice, I will sing higher and eventually sing in falsetto voice.
Incredible voice teacher with enthusiasm and talent! My son; a high school senior working on college art portfolio enjoys the sessions and feels much more confident in his singing. Highly recommend this incredible, personable and fun coach! He makes the work easy!
Gene is amazing! I highly recommend him for any level of singer. He is a great teacher who is very patient and kind.
Gene got my daughter singing the high notes with power on the first lesson. He connected with her instantly, and she can’t wait to learn more. Professional, kind and personable.. highly recommend. So glad to find this great teacher for my daughter!
My 14yo was nervous about meeting a new voice teacher, and this was her first time taking lessons outside the school setting. Gene’s professional but kind demeanor immediately put her at ease, and his knowledge base and teaching skills were immediately apparent. She left feeling more confident and energized by what she had learned.
Gene was very very nice to work with. He made everything feel comfortable and made sure I wasn’t injuring myself and because of the condition my vocal cords are in it really helped. He clearly had a passion for music and helping people learn to sing so his enthusiasm made the experience very fun! Definitely returning to the studio soon! Can’t wait to work with him again
We had a first free lesson with Genu yesterday, and the class was impressive. Gene uses SLS to training his students, and I feel Gene is a right voice coach we are looking for, and we can't wait to take more lessons from him to see the results. Thanks Gene!
This was my first time seeking out vocal lessons. Gene was great at explaining the technicalities of the vocal chords and helping with strategies that I could use to prevent straining on my vocal chords. I will definitely be using him again!
