Wilkerson Voice And Piano Studio

I work with a new student based on their individual experience and needs.  Age is a factor along with attention span and hand size.  

I enjoy working with students of all ages.  I recommended that the student practice daily as piano playing relies on muscle memory along with ear training and note recognition.  

I attended the University of Texas, Mannes College of Music and Hunter College in New York City.  My degree was in voice with a minor in piano.  I taught privately and at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in N.Y.  My vocal career ranged from a solo recital debut at the Carnegie Recital Hall to singing in the chorus at the Metropolitan Opera house and musical theatre.  I taught music at St. Joseph's School, the Odyssey School and at Coppin here in Baltimore.  Some of my students moved on to graduate with a degree in acting from N.Y.U. 

My price is $30 for half an hour and $50 for an hour.

Special arrangements may be made for long term lessons.

I always enjoyed performing and always seemed to have a gift for sharing and helping others to achieve.

I have worked with beginning and advanced students.  I think the main responsibility of a teacher is to help a student enjoy the learning experience and to be proud of their accomplishments.

I traveled to D.C. to watch a former student perform in a show that he had co-written both the lyrics and the music.  What a joy.

Make sure that the teacher will take the time to understand your needs, has a sense of humor and is knowledgeable.

The goal is to work with someone who loves music and is eager to guide you on your journey.

What are realistic practice expectations to accomplish mutual goals?  What type of music would you enjoy playing or singing?
