Sen Music Studios

My 9 year old daughter has been taking voice lessons with Dazzlyn for a while now and we are very pleased with how things are going. Dazzling is positive an supportive and makes your child feel comfortable. She is very flexible too. We only go once a week and I admit my daughter hardly does any formal practicing outside of the lessons (our motivation is to support her with the fun she has with singing and not to pressure her into getting to a professional level). Even so, her voice is significantly better than before we started taking the lessons. Years ago I got a living social voucher for singing lessons which I took /​w Gary and that was a really fun experience. I highly recommend Sen Music Studios. Parking is easy to find and free.

Sen Music Studios recently offered some vouchers and my friend/​colleague bought me two as my wintermas gift! She’s really into giving «experiences» or doing activities together, rather than gifting.
She bought both of us the one for 2 30-​minute instrument lessons and one for the 30 minute voice lesson.
We decided to do a joint combined lesson with Davelynn on a Tuesday evening for ukulele lessons! My friend wants to learn it because her favorite singer also plays the ukulele. I voted for that because it was that or the piano (from the choices). I had tried ukulele in my elementary school band class and I did a semester of basic piano in college so either would have worked for me. Davelynn is so nice and friendly. Very welcoming from the beginning and she set us up quickly with our borrowed ukes and our little instruction sheets with notes.
We learned a very basic bit of Imagine, which was fun and doable. We also did part of another song, Say Something, but that one was slightly more challenging. She did say most people don’t get that song on the first lesson. She ran us through the basic chords needed for Imagine and was very patient with us both. Yay! At one point, Gary, who founded Sen, also popped his head in to say hi.
After the lesson, my friend had worked out something with Davelynn and we did an hour in the karaōke room, which was fun and challenging! The songs there were harder to search for because the hard copies are all in alphabetical order via song. There’s an app on the phone but I found it hard to load at times.
I highly recommend Sen to those who are wanting music or voice lessons. However, I recommend calling or texting to figure out appointments. Emailing never really got me anywhere when I tried. I finally gave up and made my friend make the arrangements.

I bought my husband, Jay, Ukulele lessons and myself voice lessons via Living Social, and am SOOOO happy that I did! My husband has continued his weekly uke lessons with Josh, and I now take weekly voice lessons from Michelle. They are both fabulous teachers and more important genuinely love what they do. They encourage us tremendously and we really look forward to our ½ hour of «Just for me» time every week.
Jay is in the other room playing right now! I am grateful for Sen Music and owner Gary who has made it affordable for us to actually pursue some fun and personal growth again!
DO IT FOR YOURSELF & SUPPORT A LOCAL BIZ WHILE YOU’RE AT IT!
YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO ;)

I got a GroupOn deal for here and decided to take vocal training. My teacher, Michelle, is a very sweet and happy person that she makes lessons encouraging. I enjoyed every lesson and hope to continue!
Unilocal 365 Challenge #210/​365

I had a few lessons this week for guitar and music theory — absolutely awesome! The instructors are very pleasant to work with and aren’t intimidating at all. They are engaging and do a wonderful job at making you feel comfortable in a great learning environment.
I only come here when I’m in town, and I truly wish I was around more often so I can come each week.
I would highly recommend this place to anyone who is interested in music lessons (voice, guitar, ukelele, etc.).

SEN Music Studios is located just one block over from Honolulu Community College. They offer vocal, guitar, ukulele, & piano/​keyboard lessons as well as Karaōke & Music Theory workshops.
The staff are all SUPER friendly and genuinely care about the progress of each individual student. ‘Music Is Food For The Soul’ is a motto they all believe, and I’ve come to believe it as well.
I’ve been to other vocal studios/​teachers before and have never felt that I was getting the full attention from my instructor and progress was really slow.
The staff really try to accommodate any schedule you have whether it’s once a month to 3 times a week.
Through good and bad, SEN has been with me and I continue my journey 12 years later. Singing is a hobby I love and I’ve found the perfect place express that.
