The somatic Vocal Coach
Taj offers sessions for somatic life coaching, vocal coaching, and combined sessions, providing individuals with personalized guidance and support on their journey towards holistic well-being and transformation. There is no one-size-fits-all approach, and Taj works with each student to find the balance that works best for them and their goals.
As a somatic vocal coach, Taj understands that singing is not just about technical proficiency but also about unlocking the innate power of the voice through deep mind-body-spirit connection. Drawing from his background as an opera-trained singer and his studies in somatic healing and mindfulness, Taj bridges classical and contemporary vocal technique with somatic-informed approaches to vocal coaching.
Moreover, Taj incorporates holistic psychology practices to address underlying psychological patterns and emotional blocks, stemming from intergenerational and societal trauma. By integrating mindful breathing techniques, vocal exercises, and spiritual insights, Taj empowers students to navigate and heal emotional barriers that may inhibit their expression, fostering holistic well-being and transformation. This comprehensive approach ensures that students not only improve their singing abilities but also experience profound personal growth and healing on multiple levels.
In each session, Taj guides students through a journey of self-discovery, combining somatic awareness with vocal exercises aimed at releasing tension and cultivating resonance. By delving into the somatic and spiritual experience of singing, students not only improve their vocal skills but also tap into their authentic expression and innermost essence.
Through a holistic approach, Taj helps students build a strong foundation of vocal technique while nurturing their overall well-being and spiritual growth. Whether you're seeking to enhance your vocal abilities or explore deeper aspects of your personal journey through somatic life coaching, Taj's coaching sessions offer a safe and supportive space for growth and exploration. Whether you're seeking healing and a deeper connection with your body through somatic life coaching or aiming to strengthen your bond with your voice and spirit as a singer, Taj offers personalized guidance to support your unique goals and aspirations.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Akemi
Taj's vocal coaching has transformed my voice beyond anything I thought was possible. I can now sing songs I only dreamed about doing before, and my friends and family are commenting all the time about how much I've improved. Voice lessons with Taj are also so much fun - his easy-going, intuitive approach makes it feel like we're just hanging out, and he's also hilarious. And at the same time, he's 1000% engaged in every second of our time together and deeply invested in my improvement.
Miles
I really love how Taj approaches our lessons, starting with the physiology of how we produce sounds, moving into breath control and awareness, and introducing vocal exercises which directly develop and support healthy vocal technique. Taj is a very kind and patient guy with a passion for teaching and vocal work. I feel like he genuinely wants me to improve and succeed with my goals. If you're looking to learn about your own voice and learn to sing better and more safely, then Taj is definitely the teacher for you.
Carli
I have currently been training with Taj for almost 6 months and have had the most noticeable improvement so far as a performer. He is excellent with technique and exercises that are useful for self study outside of the one on one time. Taj is a patient and a genuinely invested vocal coach. I highly recommend working with him due to great results with not only vocal range, but breath strength and support. Not only is Taj a wonderful coach, but a fantastic vocalist who craftily works one on one to ensure development is moving forward.
