"Music is my passion! With over 15 years of marching, concert, jazz band, and choir experience, I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Music and Licensure in Music Education (K-12) from Elizabeth City State University. I am a vocalist, a musician, an arranger/composer, teacher, gospel minister, and minister of music.

I started singing at a very young age and learned to play several musical instruments: the piano, organ, trombone, sousaphone/tuba, trumpet, saxophone, and melodica among others. I taught high school band, choir, and general music for 7 years. Then started my own company to provide quality music services, first, to my local community and now to schools and individuals around the world. I have arranged music for all levels: beginner's bands, middle and high school bands, and for five Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) in the United States.

My teaching style is life-centered and humorous with careful emphasis on balance, harmony, and relevance. I am a hard worker that agrees with the philosophy, "a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down". You see, having fun through the learning process helps to create memorable visual, auditory, and contextual tags within our brains that we can then utilize for recall. It's my personal, "tried and true" method for test taking - creating an experience surrounding the content you must remember; that is how you master it.

Last and never the least, I am a licensed gospel minister, dedicated to working with both believers and non-believers to reach their highest potential in life. I provide a safe, skill-nurturing environment for all and I am committed to seeing the people that I serve become the absolute best version of themselves!" less...
