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.

Instruments: Piano Voice Cello Music

I began teaching private voice when I was in college and also started to teach beginning piano and cello as I played piano for 10 years prior. I have always loved teaching as it is a chance for me to help students find their true voice through honing skills and proper technique allowing them to have healthy and lengthy careers in the industry if they so choose. I always meet you where you are, so if you are just beginning singing then we start with the basics to make sure you have a good core to start with, if you are more advanced I like to learn what you know so far so nothing seems repetitive for you and I then incorporate techniques that will help you move to the next level.

My music experience dates back to playing in the Jazz band in grade school, where I learned the foundational knowledge all music students should have.

Traveling through the northeast, we played weddings, corporate functions, and clubs. The experience I gained throughout this time is invaluable and really brought my skill to the next level.

I find it extremely rewarding to see students enjoy the music they're playing and accomplish more than they ever thought possible. For this reason, I work with students at a pace conducive to their level. Although, I will challenge their ability, it will be done in such a way where the student can see their progress no matter how big or small that may be. I also encourage students to come with music that they enjoy listening to and would like to play. Read More
