Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Ukulele Recorder French Horn Music Keyboard
I started to teach group music class and private lesson when I was in undergraduate. I always try to bring everything I learned from performance, music education, observing other music teacher and my own experience to every music lesson I gave. Practicing consistently is the most important way to make the lesson experience more pleasant and worthwhile. Other than introducing the music to my students, I also encourage them to perform, because sharing music is also part of the learning process. Read More
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.

My teaching experience dates back to my college days, as I began teaching private lessons part time and have been teaching since. Today I am a music teacher at David Posnack Jewish Day School and the drum instructor at Piper High School. Since becoming the drum instructor at Piper High School we have received superior ratings four years in a row. I have also had the privilege to travel throughout the USA as a performing musician appearing on shows such as the 700 Club, BET Gospel, Hezekiah Walker and much more. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice
I believe that one of the most important and essential components of learning is "fun". I also believe that music requires great discipline. I've developed my teaching style around these two factors where I create lesson plans that include a variety of methods to provide a learning experience that is fun! I also teach and encourage students to use their expressive nature to ensure musicality. Read More
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.

Instruments: Piano Violin Viola
I started my musical studies at the age of 4 singing in a Chorus. At age of 7 I started my violin studies and later Piano studies. Music has been my life since then, and I always strive to transmit that passion to my students. I have played all around the world, in Israel, Europe, South Africa and USA. Played in Orchestras such as Havana Chamber Orchestra, Ashdod Symphony Orchestra, Israel Chamber Orchestra, Beersheva Sinfonetta and Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra. Current Assistant Principal Violist at Miami Symphony Read More

I began teaching in 2001. I teach voice, piano, and didgeridoo. I have performed at multiple locations locally including the Broward Performing Arts Center and the Lincoln theater. I have taught college Theory classes and Music Appreciation classes and have my MA in music history and literature. I belong to local teaching associations and students have the opportunity to perform for local things like the Guild and Festival as well as compete in local and state competitions. Read More

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
1. Junior and High School accomplishments
2. College scholarship offers
3. Most of all, I am most proud of the students that I have taught over the last 20 years that have
found music as a source of inspiration, motivation, and scholarship offers.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
Many of my students over the years received: top chairs in Youth Symphony Orchestras, School string orchestras, Regional and State Honors Ensembles, Superior Solo Ratings, college scholarship recipients.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The art of the bow is the greatest challenge. As one matures with the instrument, tone and articulation improves. I believe it is the most important element to concentrate on when developing as a string player.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
For Beginner Cellists: The Art of Cello Playing, Schroeder 170 Foundation Studies, Suzuki Books 1-2
, and other possible method books. Selected materials are based on musical
experience.
For Intermediate Cellists: Schroeder 170 Foundation Studies, Suzuki Books 2-3,
Unaccompanied Cello Suites by J.S. Bach, Whitehouse Scale and \Arpeggio
Album, Cellists' Favorite Contest Album. Selections are based on
experience and needs.
For Advanced Cellists: Schroeder 170 Foundation Studies, Popper High School of Cello Playing,
Whitehouse Scale and Arpeggio Album, Cossmann Studies for Development of
Agility of Fingers for Cello, Unaccompanied Cello Suites by J.S. Bach, and
Individually purchased solo works. Method Books and materials will be
determined based on experience and needs.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
1. Greeting and ask for special needs for the week's lesson
2. Scale Warm-Up
3. Technique
4. Literature
5. Possible duets or ensemble pieces
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
My degree is in Music Education. I chose this degree program in 2000 for one simple reason. I suffered from playing injury in 1997. I took some time off, and I was asked to teach some lessons in 1998. I fell in love with teaching others, sharing my knowledge with others about the possibilities in music. When I returned in 2000, I changed my major from Music Performance to Music Education.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
Elgar Cello Concerto in e minor
This work speaks to me unlike any other piece for cello. It is: passionate, reflective, powerful, and peaceful. It is also technically challenging and rewarding.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
A nurse or a physician
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I enjoy so many. I would have to select two- classical and popular music. My favorite classical genre is the Romantic Period. I enjoy some popular music, especially if it is thought-provoking and positive.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I began with taking piano lessons. I then took a music aptitude test. I was encouraged to take cello by my family. I then found clarinet an interest as my mother played at a performing arts school and my aunt was a college professor. After five years of study in public school strings classes and string orchestras, cello won my heart.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Music is a very big part of life for both sides of my family. My mother's side is classically trained and educated in music. My father's side are very well-respected musicians in Christian music and Country music. My immediate family all have and had their special interests in music. I am so grateful that each of them shared their love of music with me.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
When I was a Sophomore in high school, I knew that the cello and I would have a life-long friendship. I wanted to perform. I competed in every competition that I could find locally, and I performed at any offered opportunity. My shift from performance to Music Education occurred in my 20's.
