Israel Mbuela

Hello, my name is Israel and I am a singer/songwriter from London!

To give you some background context on my own musical ability, I have been singing Gospel music in my Church choir for over 18 years, and I am currently the choir’s musical director and lead pianist. I also release and perform my own original R&B/Soul music professionally. Both of these roles have taught me how to work with a diverse group of people; how to deliver as well as take on constructive feedback; and finding innovative ways to better my vocal ability.

Regarding my lesson plans, after acknowledging your strengths and areas for improvement, I will curate sessions that are both challenging and comfortable - but always remember that we will go at your own pace!

We will usually start with dynamic warm-ups and then actively listen to a song that you have prepared to sing (it helps if you let me know beforehand, so that I know it as well as you do, otherwise I’m happy to offer personalised recommendations). After you have sang, we will then break down the song, section-by-section, and I will give you feedback. We will then focus on specific notes for our next session.

I really hope that I can use all of the lessons I have learned on my unique journey with music to give *you* effective tools to help you on your journey!
