I’m Gabriel Weiner
I have been helping singers of all levels for over 18 years.
My passion for professional singing began with listening to pop and rock singers on the radio back in the early 90’s and continued evolving into the early 2000’s when I discovered musical theater. The sounds I hear on the radio and on Broadway today continue to inspire me as much as ever.
My objective is simple: to assist you in discovering and refining your signature, one-of-a-kind voice.
Although I appreciate classical music, my true passion lies in helping contemporary singers bring out their authentically fresh, reliable and unique sound.

Fear of singing out loud but want to be able to sing without feeling self-conscious or embarrassed? Or see singing as a form of therapy you want to tap into but don’t know where to start? Me too.
I took a trip to NYC for a week looking for an outlet to dust the cobwebs off my voice; having done a lot of different kinds of mind and body healing, it felt like a missing therapeutic element to me to begin singing to express myself authentically. In times of prolonged stress and mental chatter it’s not easy to find that clear, steady, confident singing voice when it’s so out of practice and may feel out of reach.
Gabriel can help to excavate your voice no matter how buried or fledgling it may feel. You can start very simply just by making sounds, and build from there. I can’t recommend Gabriel highly enough!
This was my first lesson with Gabriel. I was nervous due to several factors like my insecurities with my voice, never having taken a lesson before, and me simply second guessing myself but Gabriel from the first few minutes of the lesson put me at ease.
He made me feel extremely comfortable, not only listened but made me feel heard. I knew after the lesson that I want to continue working with him as my vocal coach.
Not only did he make me feel comfortable but he made me feel confident in my abilities as an artist. He gave me perspective in things I was doing that I wasn’t aware of and how to be present and to relax (to stay grounded, were his words) He also was so supportive and made me realize how great I am and to celebrate how far I’ve come!
He not only listened but understood me on such a level that he was able to make me not second guess my choices when it came to my singing. I can’t wait to work with him again in the future.
If anyone is looking for a vocal coach who will make you feel comfortable, help you understand yourself as a person, guide you and your voice every step of the way, give you constructive criticism and be receptive, then Gabriel is your guy. You’re going to learn a lot about yourself and your abilities. Can’t wait to see how I progress with Gabriel and I look forward to the next lesson!
Gabriel was a great help to me. I enjoyed learning and working with him. He really helped me and boosted my confidence. I’m so glad I found him on Thumbtack!
I sang a song for my wife as a surprise at our wedding and I’m not sure that I would have been able to do that without Gabriel’s help.
I had some singing experience many moons ago back in high school choir but was very rusty. Through Gabriel’s coaching and instruction I was really able to deliver at the wedding — we went through vocal exercises, memorization techniques and also different ways to phrase the melody to make it “pop” just a bit more.
My wife was really surprised and our guests loved it. Highly recommend Gabriel for anyone’s future coaching!
From the moment I began working with Gabriel, it became evident that he was not just a vocal coach but a master craftsman of contemporary singing. His teaching style, deeply rooted in understanding and refining one’s unique voice, has been a revelation. Gabriel is far from your typical singing teacher; he’s a vocal architect who constructs a foundation for lasting vocal prowess.
Gabriel’s approach to vocal training is akin to a meticulously designed exercise regimen, tailored specifically for the voice. He likens vocal training to physical fitness – the more precise and focused your exercises, the more powerful, flexible, and fit your voice becomes. This philosophy has transformed my singing. Under Gabriel’s guidance, I’ve learned to sing with minimal strain while developing vocal power, expanding my range, and drastically improving my overall vocal technique.
The results of his teachings are not just felt but have been widely recognized. My improved vocal technique has been featured in publications like The Source, where critics have praised the newfound freedom and expressiveness in my singing. This recognition is a testament to Gabriel’s skill in enhancing and refining a singer’s natural talent.
One of the most remarkable aspects of Gabriel’s teaching is his extensive knowledge of vocal exercises. He is a veritable encyclopedia in this domain, offering a diverse array of techniques that have unlocked new dimensions in my voice. His lessons are more than just training sessions; they are an adventurous exploration into the vast potential of my vocal abilities.
Moreover, Gabriel has instilled in me a sense of seriousness towards singing as a lifelong craft. His lessons are infused with a sense of comfort and enjoyment, making each session something I eagerly anticipate. He pushes his students towards excellence, yet ensures that the journey is as rewarding as the destination.
Despite my move to the Bay Area, my lessons with Gabriel haven’t skipped a beat. His flexibility and adaptability have allowed me to continue my vocal journey seamlessly, illustrating his commitment to his students’ progress, irrespective of geographical constraints.
For anyone looking to elevate their contemporary singing technique – be it in pop, rock, R&B, gospel, jazz, musical theater, country, or metal – Gabriel is the go-to coach. He works magic with adults and teenagers alike, as long as they bring a good attention span and high motivation to the table.
In conclusion, if you’re seeking to get “vocally fit” and sing with pride and confidence, look no further than Gabriel. His teaching transcends traditional vocal training, offering a transformative experience that resonates not just in your voice, but in your very being. I wholeheartedly recommend Gabriel to anyone serious about mastering contemporary singing.
We are not vocalists but really like enjoy singing. So as a bday gift, we decided to try a lesson.. and this was just a BLAST! Gabriel is informative and knowledgeable while still making the lesson fun. He has a clear path for how to make people successful (in any way you define success). After the lesson, we felt amazing and sang all the way to the restaurant. We came for a one-off lesson but decided to pursue it further and continue taking more lessons with him. He makes you feel that you are able to find your unique voice, and we both left feeling confident and even more in love with singing.
Every second in Gabriel Weiner’s lesson is ABSOLUTELY WORTH IT!! I find myself lucky to have been able to find such a great teacher! I came into the class scared, nervous and insecure about my singing. After just two lessons I feel not only confident but excited because Gabriel has really pushed my voice farther than I ever thought it could reach. If you’re still looking for a voice coach… THEN STOP!! Because Gabriel will be the only coach you’ll ever need. He’s extremely talented at what he does and he’s also a cool guy!
