Highly Relevant Experience
 Music Instructor                                                                                                                              5/1/2008
Yamaha Music School, Osaka, Japan
I was a vocal instructor, and my lessons included ear training, pronounciation, pitch control, breathing techniques, harmony, and melody training and live performance instructions. In order to sing correctly, in almost any situation, these are the essentials to do so. Stretching and warming up the vocal chords were the first things to be done at the beginning of each lesson. And at the end of each lesson, a recording was made so that the students could constantly gauge their progress and performance.  
 Vocals and Drum Instructor                                                                                                      1/15/2000
Ctone Music School, Itami, Japan
At this school I taught more at a personal level. During lessons I included my essentials needed to perform in any situation,plus a few added ones for confidence and on the spot auditions. Most  are reluctant to perform on the spot if requested, so this is one of the points I stress in this class. Sometimes we only get one chance to prove ourselves worthy, and so we need to be ready and able to perform anywhere, anytime. These classes are a little longer because they are personalized for each person, depending on their level and what they need to become a better performer. During lessons, recording are made of the performance and discussed in class. This enables us to move forward in a more productive manner. And finally at the end of training, a  CD is made of the students performance, before and after, and given to them as a reminder of how far they have progressed. 
Music Instructor  and Song Producer                                                                                    1/10/1999
Benesse, Tokyo, Japan
I taught kids the fundamentals of music and how to enjoy what it has to offer. We studied harmony, simple melodies and basic tone and pitch control. These were group classes of about 15 kids, and the lessons were short, so their was not much time for individual training. This class was more for fun and to instill confidence,that everyone can have fun singing. Once a month I helped write and produce songs for the kids and for the monthly CD, which was released to the public.
