About
Music is good for the soul! It brings people joy, creates memories and is one of the purest forms of creative expression. That's why I love it! And want to help you bring out the music and songs you have inside your soul for the world to hear.
I have been studying music and performing for the past 25 years and providing private music instruction for the past 6 years. Prior to teaching I have been producing music for other creative artists and radio commercial jingles. Now I'm bringing all of that knowledge together to share with you online through, Sheree's Music Studio. Here is where I provide lessons in vocal instruction, piano, songwriting, music theory, music sight reading and ear training. I have worked as a Vocalist, Church Music Director, Choir Director, Composer, Songwriter, Jingle Writer, and musical theater performing artist. I love the world of creative and performing arts. And I am excited to help you develop the skills you need for your own personal musical journey. Whether you want lessons for yourself, your child, or a friend, maybe you need coaching in what you already know or need help understanding different concepts, I am here to help you learn the skills you need in order to achieve your personal goal.
Being able to help performing artists and songwriters reach goals they didn't know they could accomplish and learn new information about music makes me smile. It makes me so happy because I can relate and understand where they are coming from because I too was a beginner at one point.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Depending on the student's goals I take the first few lessons to teach them the basics of their area of focus.
If it's piano we will work on learning placement and note names.
If it is a singer we will work on breathe control, and understanding vocal placement through connecting your body and voice. These are key fundamentals to move forward when starting in either area or focus.

B.F.A. Degree in Arts Management, Music and Broadcasting from C.W. Post Long Island University
