Your Singing Coach
Janak is a firm believer that teaching is less a function of telling students what to do and more a journey of coaching that inner rock star to self-inspired creative expression.
“Motivating encouragement, concrete guidance, and playful musicality are the primary ways of being I want to bring to coaching students.”
Janak’s primary exposure and work has been in rock (including hard rock and alternative rock) and pop with additional work in blues, jazz, punk, R&B, and rap/hip-hop. Artists and bands he has worked with include Tainted Love, the children of Todd Rundgren and Linda Ronstadt, and Johnny Nitro and the Doorslammers (in particular Burt Winn, singing bass player extraordinaire, whose wife Lynn exclaims that Burt’s singing lessons are “the best money we’ve ever spent”).
Janak has received awards for outstanding teaching and most popular teacher (at the Blue Bear School of Music in San Francisco) and specializes in teaching kids and adults in varying genres such as rock, pop, R&B, blues, and jazz, and can also work with your favorite artists and styles. Whether you are a curious beginner or an accomplished professional, you will enjoy the confidence that comes from working with a trusted coach guiding you to the next level in your search for musical bliss.
