I am a guitar and voice teacher who believes that learning music should be a positive, transformative experience.

I earned my Bachelor of Music at Howard University with a focus on guitar as my therapeutic instrument. While earning a master’s degree in Music Therapy at New York University I focused on therapeutic songwriting to help individuals work though emotional trauma. Read More

My teaching experience has all been one-on-one coachings in different styles such as Musical Theater, opera, oratorio and pop styles. I can really hear the potential in each voice and have been through every stage that a singer can possibly imagine. I started off as someone who had absolutely no sense of pitch with less than an octave of usable range and over the past three years have now gotten to the point of riffing, chest-mixing in the fifth octave, whistle tones... etc. Read More

I create lesson plans for students based off of their passions. If a younger child has never read music before, success is usually found in working with music that they are interested in.

Learning must be fun and it must improve ones understanding of the subject at the same time if it is to be rewarding. Read More

My teaching experience dates back to high school days, where I felt the urge to share what I've learned immidiately after completing taking guitar lessons. I began to teach guitar at a community center at the age of 16. I also started to give private lessons along with the classses that I was teaching at the community center. My great desire to learn everything that I can about music lead me to where I am today. Read More

Before we start our Lessons, I do have a few questions that I ask my students 1. Why Vocal Lessons? 2. What kind of music genres or artists you like and or listen to? 3. What are your personal music goals? 4. Would you like to sing as a career, or hobby? 5. Need help with Auditioning? 6. Ever Do Karaoke? With these guided questions I am able to formulate a geared program toward the specific student so that they could reach their goals and be successful. Read More

I typically use a combination of methods in the private lesson setting-method books, etude books, books for technique, solo repertoire, and pop/rock/jazz music and or charts for contemporary study. For beginners, I like Essential Elements 2000, Faber Method, Suzuki solo books, and easy pop music books. For more advanced students, I will incorporate advanced methods such as etude books/orchestral excerpts along with repertoire geared more towards polishing for recital or performance. Read More
