Introduction: Korel Tunador is a vocal instructor based in the Encino area of the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles. His background includes early Suzuki Piano training, a Performance Degree from Berklee College of Music in Jazz Saxophone and over 20 years of performing and touring internationally. Over a decade of that has been playing and singing primarily with the Goo Goo Dolls and Katy Perry. Korel has performed on some of the world’s biggest stages, from the major late night and morning TV shows, halftime shows for NFL games, video broadcasts from Abbey Road Studios and countless other media appearances and festivals around the world. While Korel has been studying vocal science and obtaining certifications, he also maintains a very relaxed and fun environment for students to explore their voice and get in touch with their musicality. Lessons with Korel can involve any of a wide range of students’ needs, from vocal technique, song interpretation and facilitation, to ear training and music theory or instrumental lessons if needed. In addition, Korel has a high end recording studio where students can be guided from making their own demos to polishing finished album quality vocal tracks. I really love helping people tap into the joy that comes from expressing themselves. When students are focusing on a song performance I like connecting to the musicality and art of it. I also really enjoy teaching ear training and introducing students to music theory, as what seems like an academic exercise is really a first step towards musical liberation!

I'M The One Pushing G.

I signed up for vocal lessons with Korel because I've always been self-conscious of my singing voice and needed to work on that in order to overcome my massive stage fright when speaking in public. Korel really made me feel comfortable belting out songs, worked with me to find ways to work with my vocal chords and range, and gave me exercises to warm up and calm down before speaking. I recently got to test all of his teachings during a speaking engagement and I was able to control my voice and manage my nerves. Singing and speaking are very technical arts but they can only reach their full potential with care, patience and by gaining an understanding of the philosophy behind them if you will. Korel is able to teach all of this. He goes above and beyond- even offering to test my podcast recorders to find the one that's best for my voice. He's dedicated, talented and a pleasure to be around with.

Korel has been an amazing singing coach. He is patient, passionate and loves what he does! It is a pleasure learning from him and I encourage anyone to try a lesson with Korel. Also, the awards from Katy Perry ad to his credibility as I'm a huge fan!

Korel is an incredible vocal coach. His expertice in the industry and unique style is refreshing. Every session we have together is different. I am peeling away the layers and discovering my true vocal range and abilities. Through his guidance, I am hearing and feeling new things every week. I highly recommend him for anyone, from those who are wanting to discover their own voice to the professionals who want another ear to fine tune a piece. He is kind, compassionate, patient and a joy to see every week. Thank you Korel!

Korel has blown my mind with not only his amazingly deep knowledge of the science of vocal training but also the striking ability to pinpoint a specific singer's strengths and weaknesses and dial in the proper techniques to improve both. -Jay Wiley of The Hawkeyes

First let me say that Korel is about the nicest guy you will ever meet. I've had a couple of voice lessons with him so far and I've been very impressed not only with his skill but also with how much I'm learning and hearing myself improve. Before the first lesson we had a FaceTime session and then I texted him some suggestions for songs I wanted to learn. When I arrived the first lesson he had the music and words for those songs already prepared. He makes notes and emails me homework after each lesson. He also records songs and scales to help with my practice at home. Since I'm pretty uncomfortable singing in front of others it's great to have a teacher who is always working hard to make the student comfortable.

FAQs

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First we chat a bit about their musical goals and influences. Then we go through some vocal exercises to get a feel for their voice and where we need to go. Then we would do some more workouts and focus on a song of their choice so we can begin to apply our lessons to a practical goal of both vocal ease but also musicality.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I started with Suzuki piano lessons at age 5, which is a classical method that also centers around ear training and organic musicality. Later I received a degree in Jazz Performance from Berklee College of Music on Tenor Saxophone and began singing, playing guitar and songwriting. For years I played in bands and toured around and continued to sing live and take vocal lessons as well. More recently I have been delving deeply into vocal science and continuing to study voice and vocal teaching methods.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I have been playing music forever and singing professionally in bands since my early 20’s, and part of that has been taking vocal lessons myself. I’ve had some amazing vocal coaches who were truly life changing for me, and I’ve always loved the chance to help other people I’ve been working with. So it has been a natural progression into teaching others.
