My 11-year-old daughter is very passionate about singing and the guitar. This is all fine and well, but she has already surpassed my singing abilities and while I played the flute, piano, and percussion, I know absolutely nothing about the guitar. It was time for professional help. I came across Voicemaster, saw the bits about the law of attraction and immediately knew it was the studio I wanted for Rain. It looked like a place that would believe in her unlimited potential. It looked like a place that would NOT be the strict conventional musical training I grew up with. And I was right! Two months in and Rain's voice and guitar playing have transformed. Junior is SUCH a gifted musician but also an immensely gifted teacher who knows exactly what an individual student needs and precisely how to deliver it. He is not only expanding Rain's guitar skills like crazy with his unique approach to guitar mastery, but has helped her become a more confident singer, performer, and human being. Rain has a tendency to be very hard on herself, and he has taught her to embrace challenges, that failing is an essential element on the path to success, and to RELAX and have fun. Junior's training is downright miraculous and we are so fortunate to have him in our lives. If you want to improve your singing or playing abilities, or are a parent looking for someone who will expand your child's musical skills in an amazingly positive and effective way, Junior is your man! Since Covid-19 Shelter-In-Place has been instituted Junior transitioned my daughter to Facetime lessons and continues to deliver his incredible teaching, not a beat missed! I am so excited for Rain's continued journey. She has dreams of Broadway and performance and songwriting and I know she is well on her way. Thank you Junior! read more

I signed up my daughter for voice lessons because she was introverted, a bit anxious, and had expressed wanting to try singing lessons. She was a complete beginner and super shy to sing even in front of him. But uncle Junior created a safe and comfortable environment, and his calming presence put her at ease. He has an incredible ear and picked up on her bad habits immediately, and his exercises and techniques were easy to understand and apply. Her tone is now clearer, her projection is stronger, and her confidence is soaring. She genuinely looks forward to every lesson and it is obvious how training with him has helped her overall growth, maturity, and confidence. Thank you, Junior, for helping my daughter find her voice! read more

Junior is a talented vocal coach and his unique process is empowering and fun! My voice has improved tremendously - I can feel the difference in my range, control, style, and power. Working with Junior has transformed my singing and transformed me as a person. He is such a positive teacher with immense passion for his craft and his students. I always leave our sessions feeling refreshed, confident, and smiling from his encouragement. He's a talented musician that has honed his teaching method. I highlight recommend taking singing lessons with Junior. Our voice lessons are the highlight of my day! read more

My 12 year old daughter took online lessons for approximately 9 months. Junior was amazing as he made my daughter progress in her singing capabilities. He made her feel very comfortable and I noticed her boost in confidence. My daughter also is on a dance company and her schedule was very busy. Junior was very accommodating to work with her dance schedule. I highly recommend taking lessons for anyone willing to boost their singing. read more

Junior definitely has an unusual approach. The fact, however is that he took me from receiving decades of comments like, "please don't sing" to learning how to make a song sound good. I've tried several vocal coaches, and all of them have told me to do something other than sing. I always knew that was bad advice, even from the "best" teachers in town. I decided to make one more attempt to learn how to sing and I'm glad I did. One thing to realize is that learning to sing, especially if you have been repeatedly discouraged by teachers is that learning to sing, like most other difficult tasks is a journey that takes time and practice. Singing is such a personal thing that we tend to be easily discouraged, especially when a teacher isn't helping. Junior won't put that roadblock in your way. IMHO most other teachers off you vague advice that is difficult to implement. Junior's approach doesn't do that. He makes you realize, in concrete terms what you need to do and how to develop your skills. My advice is, start with Junior, give it 3-4 months and you will see progress when you have been discouraged in the past. read more

I reached out to Junior because my niece really wanted to try voice lessons. He was wonderfully responsive and having online classes made this so convenient. She was very, very shy but he had this terrific idea that the lessons be for both me and her. It helped get her out of her shell and she loved the lessons. They're really a family-oriented company and it's not just about singing -- it's honestly about building and developing confidence. And that was truly what I wanted for her. And hey, it's building my confidence too! I highly recommend checking them out. read more

I grew up around vocalist my whole life and it was always about singing, but uncle Junior takes vocal training to a whole other level. It's like the crossfit of vocal training. After just 4 weeks there was a tremendous difference in not only the strength and endurance of my vocal muscles, but also my confidence in opening up and delivering what I have inside. Thank you uncle Junior! read more

It was a few month that I worked with him but the result impacted positively in my life. My original intention to take his class was improving my singing skill but he taught me about confidence and it was all connected to my voice. He is not just a voice coach, he is my mentor and life coach as well. I am so grateful for that I met him and worked together. I highly recommend working with him whether you want to improve your singing skill or not. Thank you Junior! read more

Mr. K helped me to achieve what I had thought not possible for myself. Without any prior experiences with vocal coaches and coming in with only what I have learned through YouTube videos, I immediately noticed how "unorthadox" Mr. K's teaching methods were. From the crazy exercises to the constant vocal stretching, the results came quickly. Results were experienced every week with every class and it was motivating to want to continue. Thank you Mr. K for everything you've taught me read more

About 5 years ago, I picked Voice Masters to help me with my singing. At that time, I was playing guitar & jamming with my friends. I noticed I was the only one not contributing as a singer. With the help of Uncle Wayne, he made me realize I was not able to vocalize with my guitar buddies because they were not singing in my "key" & at that time my range was limited. With Jr & Uncle Wayne's help I progressed quickly & thus the weekly Kanikapila with my friends became much more enjoyable for me & the other musicians. Fast forward to this year & I'm back with Junior to extend my range & improve my skills. His extensive knowledge of fundamentals & breathing skills, as well as, advanced vocalization is unmatched.  Junior also has a vast skill set of the psychology of learning & thus can tailor the learning experience to the student's strengths & at the same time, bolster the areas that need strengthening. Because he is a performing artist, he can guide the students toward entertainment enterprises.  Music comes from & touches the soul. As human being, we use our voice to express our basic need to communicate with others. Singing is one form of that expression. Over time you will find that music & the joy of singing is truly transformative. read more

I've always wanted to try singing but thought it was never for me and didn't have a lot of confidence in my vocal ability. However, I was recommended Junior's vocal lessons by a family member and since last year have started to see a steady and real rate of improvement in my voice, not just in singing, but even in normal conversation. My voice has gained a better foundation and become more powerful than it ever was a year ago. If you're on the fence about trying out singing or even just someone who wants to learn an effective vocal method that you can see real progress from, Junior's Voicemaster program is guaranteed to meet your expectations and more. read more

My daughter is 7 years old and I was nervous about investing money in singing lessons as she was extremely shy about doing it in front of anyone but me and her mother, and I worried she would sit in class not doing anything. After a short discussion with Junior and him assuring me he would make it fun for her to feel comfortable we took the leap of faith and got started. Fortunately or unfortunately covid struck and we were stuck at home, but her FaceTime lessons took place, and she has completely come out of her shell both on FaceTime with Junior, wanting to record herself for YouTube, and singing in front of family members. I would highly recommend Junior and Voicemaster to anyone as it has opened up many doors for my daughter. She is doing what she loves and now comfortable sharing it with people. read more

Hi, I'm a military veteran. I've had over a decade of surgeries and therapy from PTSD along with chronic pain. No matter what I did the tension I carried wouldn't let up. I'm very active and practice yoga regularly but I would often work through the pain. The mental and physical disability was robbing my spirit of joy. I needed a new kind of therapy. I searched for voice lessons and found Voicemaster and JR. He has helped me to find my voice, the real strength that I am capable of and a newly found positive energy that comes from a more powerful mental space; rather than everything evolving from the pain and fear that I carried for so long. Using my voice has allowed me to learn to relax more and in turn mostly everything in my personal life has improved including pain, physical activity, confidence at home, work and with relationships. I'm grateful to understand the power of the voice and learning to let go of fear. Thanks JR and Voicemaster for your help and healing work! read more

I signed up for 3 months with Junior after reading all his amazing reviews. I've always loved to sing and write but I've been so scared to ever sing in front of anyone. Once Junior started working with me my whole life changed. I was more confident not only with singing but, in every part of my life. I learned to stick up for myself and to not care what others think. Junior is an amazing teacher. If you are thinking about taking his class DO IT. You won't regret it. I completed my 3 months in December and have recorded 5 of my own original songs. I plan to train with Junior again to strengthen my voice even more. Thanks Junior read more

After spending a year with my son's previous vocal coach I could see he wasn't happy and he wasn't getting any better. Found JR thru his amazing reviews on Yelp and after a few sessions I could see the changes in my son. He's maturing and is growing into his own style of singing and he leaves class happy. JR is a positive supportive person and you can see it when he coaches. read more

Junior made me feel like ive been going to him for years. He lessons go deeper than "voice" lessons and i found myself feeling more confident and comfortable. read more

I can't believe the review. In my child's first class, we thought he was a good teacher and added lessons, but since then he has been more interested in his cell phone than in lessons. read more

Junior is an amazing and incredible coach! Not only you start to see result on your lessons he also teaches you life lessons. In that regard, it has continued to change my life! I really enjoy his classes and the life lessons are definitely a bonus!!! read more

Junior did a great job of helping me train the muscles used in singing. He helped me make major improvement in my tonality, accuracy, vocal strength and confidence in my sound in just two months. His exercises were easy to understand and follow and he was very kind and easy to work with. I will definitely be keeping in touch with him. read more

My 5 star rating is based off of my experience here. If you are looking for a place to build of confidence and comfort with singing this would be the place to go. read more

Meeting Junior changed my self-confidence! I had zero singing experience but was always complimented that I had a 'radio' type voice. After working with Junior, not only did my voice and singing improve after 2 weeks. But also so did my self-confidence. It's like a gift that keeps on giving the more I practice! Working with Junior will do much much more than just improve your voice, he will help you level you up in life! read more

Jr is the very best singing coach on Oahu! It is obvious that he loves what he does and truly cares about every one of his students. He gives continuous positive encouragement throughout the session...totally uplifting! I previously signed up with another instructor who was very nice...just not at all engaging.I kind of lost interest until a dear friend brought me to Jr...we were both so excited and signed up together! My life has not been the same. Jr's desire for us to succeed is intense...like his life depends on it! It is a wonderful feeling to know u mean that much to ur teacher :)) I highly recommend anyone on the island who has the desire to learn to sing to go STRAIGHT to Jr. He is also kind, warm and funny...a wonderful person aside from being a top knotch teacher. Time just flies when u r with him...i am always so sad at the end of my session...feeling like it just began...but know i must leave :((Thank u Jr for helping me to hone my skills and improving my singing technique...i just love to sing just needed ur guidance! read more

Voicemaster Vocal Development was the best investment I have made for myself. Jr. Kekuewa is an incredible instructor. He has given me the foundation to work on.

I recommend taking these lessons. It is worth the growth mentally, physically and spiritually. Jr. has helped me get passed my insecurities and open up more. I am so blessed to have met this man.

One day I was watching YouTube music and felt inspired by the singing and that's when I said I want to learn to sing! I started searching the web and Yelp for local voice lessons. They all sounded like the standard voice lessons taught here type of add. VoiceMaster caught my eye, they not only taught the physical aspects to singing, but the add went on to say they teach the emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects to the dynamics of the voice. I enrolled and I am glad I did. The biggest thing Jr. Taught me was self confidence and learning to "sing outside the box"...what a huge difference it's made. I've learned to be less critical and more accepting of me, not just in singing but in all areas of my life. I have a lot more to learn and practice, but at least, I am not afraid to sing around other people...Thanks Jr.! read more

As a voice student, I signed up to mainly work on my speaking skills via singing and realized what he teaches is a gold mine! His positivity and underlying beliefs (law of attraction---read his book) and encouragement was exactly what I needed to boost my confidence in singing. You can't be shy if you want to sing. In addition it also helps with my speaking and dealing with colleagues etc. Voice lessons have given me confidence! Wish i had known this before. CAN!! read more

If all teachers were like Junior, all kids would love school! My 17 year old son has been taking voice and guitar lessons for the past two months. Junior has taught him breath control, among other things, and he is now learning Hawaiian falsetto! He's learning guitar chords and singing songs like he never could before learning from "Uncle Junior". Junior is very easy to talk to and genuinely enjoys sharing his knowledge. Mahalo nui! read more

I loved every bit of the lessons I've experienced. I came into these vocal lessons worried that I was losing my singing voice! But with the confidence and support that Junior provided me during the lessons I found my voice growing and strengthening. My breathing techniques have become stronger and I find myself not being out of breath. If you have an opportunity to experience vocal lessons with Junior please take it! It's worth it! read more

To say it's been an positive experience is an understatement. Junior, as a teacher and coach teaches and encourages all the while instilling confidence as your vocal skill grows! I have learned not only how our voice works but how our mindset can be changed for the better with the right guidance. Thank you Junior, you have made me see a whole new side of my capabilities! read more

I've been taking these lessons for almost 6 months now. The reason I keep coming back is because I just keep getting better and better. The therapy behind it is life changing. Each lesson has not only helped me find inner peace, but also find my inner voice. I wouldn't want to stop where I'm at because Voice Master Junior, has shown me just how much potential I have to be better. read more

JR will exceed your expectations! My daughter's singing skills have very much improved based on exercise techniques that are unique to Voicemasters. Jr's coaching skills are excellent and my daughter always leaves her session with positive reinforcement and greater self confidence. We have tried several singing teachers, all of which were wonderful ... Jr.´s style is different in that he also focuses on building self-confidence in such a way that allows his students to achieve and excel in other areas of their lives. We are very happy with Voicemasters. read more
