Instruments: Piano Voice
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.

I have great appreciation for music and the art of teaching. I began teaching music at a very young age, and instantly knew that it was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. After receiving my Associate degree, I began studying Music Education at Florida Atlantic University. Currently I am just a couple of semesters away from receiving my Bachelor of Music Education degree. I can't wait to share my knowledge and experience with others, and gain even more expeience along the way. Read More

For beginning students, I start with Randal and Nancy Faber's Piano Adventure books, which includes lesson books, performance books, and theory books as well. Once the students have a grasp on the fundamentals, they will then move on to solo repertoire for their first recital performance. For adolescents to young adults, based on how they are learning with their piano teacher, I can help with the student decide what repertoire they should learn for Student Day, the National Guild of Piano Teachers, etc. Read More

For children and adults who are beginners I tend to use the Orff Approach as well as the Dalcroze Method. With thses methods I cnan engage the student with the music while they use their mind and body to learn the basics of music. I like to first teach students to read sheet music and learn the importance of meter and time siganture. I then move on to more techniques as they learn. Read More
Instruments: Piano Keyboard
I usually start with a beginners book for children or adults. We go through the lessons at their own speed. As for practicing the scales, I do not introduce them until the students is thoroughly familiar with the keys (the alphabet of the keys.) For adults I introduce the scales and arpeggios much earlier. I work with the students at their own speed. They like my style of teaching. Lessons with me do not seem like a chore because I am a teacher who does not get upset with the students . Read More

My teaching style is based on traditional classical approach of Russian Piano teaching method. For younger, beginner level student lessons are structured around different activities and games (for very young students) to learn notes reading and rhythm. For intermediate and more advanced students each lesson starts with a warm up, of scales, arpeggios, etudes or other technical pieces. After that we move onto working on individual pieces of music. Student is explained what needs to be done to achieve desired results for each specific piece, and the homework is written in a notebook for the following lesson. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Tape your lessons with your teacher, oral or video. Your teacher's advice on how to practice is your best companion. Next best, take notes and review them. Remember what your teacher told you and implement it.
Practice requires a coordination of both time and space. It starts with setting a space apart, a comfortable quite place and the same for a time.
Practicing usually has a break down into different stages. There is a warm up stage, then there is the body of the practice session. There is the principle of breaking down difficulties into smaller units in order to overcome them. The principle of divide and conquer, whether it is by separate hands or by shorter pieces of the difficult passage or by slowing of the tempo or by approaching the passage in multiple ways rhythmically or technically.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If the parent is ready ,the child is usually ready. It is essential to have the parent's involvement in the musical progress of the child. You must create a musical culture at home. If you play music ,either in and instrument or in the radio or CD player and you do it consciously for it's own sake, or sing at home whether casually or otherwise or visit places where there is live music whether at concerts or otherwise , and if on top of all that you have a musical instrument at home and speak highly of music, culture and art, your child very likely is ready for music lessons.
If you don't have any of the above you can still instill something of the desire for music lessons in your child if you approach it as a therapeutical or as an intellectual exercise. That's different. Music as a means to develop the brain, intellenge, emotions, improve memory, strengthen the charachter, instill perseverance, overcome long term challenges and develop patience and self control is priceless. There are extra benefits for the physical too, like learning to breath correctly, proper posture and use of the body and motor development and coordination of mind and body and the fingers. If you come from that background or have planted those ideas in your child , he or she are also ready for music.
When will I start to see results?
Music is a long term thing. That is why it is one of the best tools to develop patience, endurance and perseverance. If you don't have patience but have perseverance and like a good challenge that's a good start. However ,even if you could expect results immediately it is not a good idea to start music on that. It depends on what results you want. There is a one day course on playing chords. It is usually done in about six hours. You can walk out with a chart on music theory and enough knowledge to be able to play the guitar chords from a lead sheet. We could make a three month plan for a whole music theory course with ear training and all and a bit of piano, or a six month plan for more in depth piano and reading . The Bayer method is an elementary piano course but complete for a good grasp of piano can be done in six months . If you have a wide exposure to music at home , community or otherwise , you probably will go faster than if not. If you don't have that kind of exposure to music you will probably go slower. Again it depends on how you approach it. If you already play on a regular basis and are only refining your skills or widen your horizons you will go fast. If music lessons will only be a hobby for you , you can still progress fast if you make a good plan. The calendar is essential. A fixed and methodical schedule written down will for sure yield results fast enough.
