I meet every student where they are in their musical journey. I teach musicians to feel their music and really become the music. Every musician will not be into classical music so I like to understand what type of music inspires each student so that I can know how to teach them in a way that they would understand it. Music is my life! There's nothing else in this world that I would rather be doing than music. Even during my darkest moments in life music was always there to lift me up. It is very rewarding to see someone enjoy the music that I play. It just makes me want to grind harder and never stop....

I pride myself on my ability to work with my students to meet their specific needs what ever they may be .

Music promotes self-discipline, creativity and self-esteem, and anyone who doubts this statement . . . find out for yourself. Your voice will soar! Your fingers will fly!

I have 20 plus years of experience teaching singing. I’m a professional singer, songwriter and jungle singer. I’ve had students make it through the audition process and appear on the Voice and American idol. I am trained in classical technique. I’m a rock and jazz singer by trade. I treat ever student as an individual and plan each lesson based on your skill and level of ability. I’m sensitive to the obstacles that people can face when they decide to start singing and I very much enjoy helping students unlock the power of their voice!

My name is Professor Jay C Burns, a Detroit U. S. citizen. Teaching music, theater and drama has been my passion. My style of teaching is caring with discipline and fun. Providing for the student an optimistic atmosphere with emphasis on learning the basic fundamentals with room for creative expression. My goal is to make sure that the student learns his/her instrument or drama techniques to express the gifts that may be dormant in you. All the time having fun and enjoying the class

I love teaching! Singing has always been a big part of my life. I am a very good singer myself, and I model singing for the students. I know what students sound good singing. I can correct pitch problems. I motivate students. They enjoy my classes very much because they always improve with my help, and seeing the improvements make them a believer in my abilities to teach.
